Stewart Edmondson

Stewart is a plein air artist working mainly outdoors, on location, in all weather, painting quickly and dynamically. He draws his inspiration from the light and energy of the place he is working in, constantly finding that the painting is an alchemy between him and the place. Rain, wind and light will all often contribute to the mark making and can have a major effect on the painting.

Edmondson’s landscapes are not just visual records—they are immersive experiences, often described as “poetic responses to nature.”

His use of watercolour pushes the medium beyond its traditional boundaries, creating bold, large-scale works that feel contemporary yet timeless.

He is part of a wider movement of UK artists redefining landscape painting, blending environmental awareness with artistic innovation.

Stewart Edmondson is a contemporary British landscape painter whose work is deeply rooted in the natural environment of Dartmoor National Park.

He primarily works in watercolour, often on a large scale, creating pieces that are both expressive and atmospheric.

His paintings are celebrated for their ability to convey the energy, movement, and spirit of the landscape, rather than simply depicting it.

Edmondson’s practice is closely tied to his personal connection with Dartmoor, where he spends extensive time outdoors, sketching and painting directly in nature.

His work has been exhibited widely across the UK and is collected internationally, appealing to both contemporary art audiences and traditional landscape enthusiasts.
