Mark Woollacott Coastal Artist
PLEASE CLICK OR TAP ON THE IMAGE ABOVE TO SEE WHICH PAINTINGS ARE CURRENTLY FOR SALE.
This website represents a selection of the hundreds of paintings that I have painted over several decades as a professional and leading North Devon seascape and maritime artist.
As an experienced studio-based artist, I paint in a traditional style and work predominantly in oils: creating each painting with many fine layers, paying careful attention to light, shade, detail, atmosphere, mood, and colour interpretation in order to achieve a high degree of artistic realism.
I mostly work on bespoke painting commissions, but new collections of my artwork are released annually and are available at a few select galleries, and some are also available direct from this website. Please contact the relevant gallery (listed on the Gallery Representation page) if you are interested in purchasing one or more of my paintings.

Endeavouring to become eco-friendly as an artist
Oil paintings have always used plant-based oils, such as linseed, walnut or poppy. As a professional artist, I am committed to using artist products (e.g. paint pigments, mediums, thinners, brush cleaners,) which are sourced through natural and ethical processes and use plant-based oils while still maintaining high quality results. Eco-friendly packaging materials: I now use packaging products that are free of plastic and are recyclable and degradable when packaging my artworks for transportation to buyers, art exhibitions and art galleries.
