Richard Stuttle - International Artist

ImageMy love for art stretches back as long as I can remember. I am in awe of what I see everyday and the beauty within it. I have always enjoyed every form of art from quick sketches in pen and ink to bigger projects, large canvas oils and murals.

Art has always moved me. I can lose myself in a picture, imagining what the Artist went through during the creation and  what they are trying to convey through their finished work.

Life’s ups and downs inspire!  They taught me to choose what I wanted and how to spend my time.  Skateboarding and snowboarding – adrenalin fixes, but a great way to get ideas for pictures with a difference, they show a million thoughts and an energy frozen in a moment. 

I paint in many different ways, Watercolours, oils and pastels are my favourites. I try to use the right medium for the job.

Capturing emotions and feeling within my work is inspired by the beautiful world Mother Nature has provided. A world I am lucky enough to be a part of. Every image has a different thought behind it. A different process and a different end.

Take a tour of my site and let me know what you think.  Art is very personal.  I hope you find mine inspiring. 

 
Richard Stuttle - Artist Profile

Image

By travelling different parts of the world I've found a whole new universe of potential along with different ways of thinking, pushing boundaries to the extreme.  The landscapes and horizons of Australia, France and Thailand inspired me to pick up my paintbrushes. Art was everywhere I looked; I saw expressions of society, of individuals and a painting at every turn.

Everybody is in themselves Art - a painting waiting to explode on to canvas,  expressing every moment with changing movement and feeling. I have been absorbed in other people's worlds and observed how they differ from my own. The experience of art is translating this to canvas.

I’ve always been interested in art and had a love for the old masters; Rembrandt and Caravaggio are two of my favourites. The tools they used demonstrate how materials were developed over the centuries. Now life is easy, any medium is readily available, I love working in Oils for the richness, glow and feeling of substance as you work. Watercolours are another of my favorites for travel and for the softness they bring, the delicate way they have to be treated to produce the finish and effect you desire.

I have worked with pastels which are great for speed, colour and for creating the perfect tone. Capturing sunsets as the sky changes from minute to minute. Acrylics are fun and good for adding texture and depth within a picture. A pen or pencils are best to have at hand any moment of your day, the skill and precision of drawing takes a lifetime to achieve.

Painting a picture is time and in every moment your vision and focus change. Because of this a painting captures the feeling, enviroment and atmosphere of a scene where as a photograph catches only the moment.

My Father is a well known Yorkshire Artist and has inspired me from day one, encouraging my every step to learn more and improve myself as a person and an Artist.

The world is an interpretation of what's seen by the individual,  making art purely unique to the Artist who has had the thought to create it.
