Jonathan Chapman
St Paul’s Cathedral at Dusk, acrylic and Mitsubishi inks on Seawhite acrylic paper 360gsm, 11x15in (28x38cm)
Sat in his home studio, surrounded by sketches, photographs and pots of brushes, Jonathan Chapman shares his inspiration and the factors that led to the development of a distinctive personal style. Typically working in a mixed media of acrylics and ink, Jonathan combines painterly and graphic elements with bold colours, to create landscapes that are at once grounded yet dreamlike. Jonathan then led me through a workshop of a recent commission, Embreeville Mill, Pennsylvania (pages 16-17).
