Hand-signed Oil original artwork by artist Lawrence Coulson.

Capturing a powerful sense of timelessness and escape, Lawrence Coulson’s artworks offer a moment of calm to step away from the everyday and sink into a moment of reflection. Coulson carves a window for us to pause and take in the soothing landscapes he creates.

With a focus on building a strong sense of atmosphere, Coulson experiments with the way he captures light. Whether it’s bright, warm and uplifting, or dark, brooding and stormy, the artist creates an interplay of light using stronger, warmer palettes that envelop us in the feeling of the piece. Coulson injects a strong sense of mood and atmosphere into this collection, capturing the feeling of landscapes from the countryside to the sea. The artist is known for featuring small figures at the heart of each painting, emphasising the grandeur and magnitude of the landscape.

“Be it the stillness of moonlight, a vibrant sunrise or sunset, or the sound of waves lapping the seashore, my artworks are all created in the pursuit of enveloping the viewer in the atmosphere.”

Much like the romantic landscape artists before him, Lawrence Coulson conveys the beauty and power of nature in his moving paintings through traditional materials. Perfect as a classical touch to any space, this original oil painting showcases Lawrence's incredible talent and passion for the historical genre of landscape painting.

Although oil paint has traditionally been used in landscape painting for hundreds of years, Lawrence's technique of applying the paint is truly unique. After denoting the horizon in a thin pencil line, Lawrence uses only his finger to apply and blend his paint before using a toothpick to add any small figures in his vast composition.
