Scott Jackson
Painter (Crescent Head, NSW)

Scott Jackson is an Australian artist living on the Nid North Coast of NSW. His bush, beach and sea environment provides a wealth of creative inspiration for his work.

Scott was raised in an artistic family, with his father and other family also involved in the arts. For him it seemed only natural to become an artist as there was always some kind of creative process going on around him.

Scott has been painting for nearly 18 years, and now works fulltime in his studio in Crescent Head. He is essentially a self taught artist (with a few instructions lessons from his father) and work mainly in oils and acrylics, with the occasional watercolour. He also likes ink drawing and sketching of the landscape and life drawing.

He particularly likes working with knives and brushes as it allows him to apply the paint thick and develop interesting textures. Underpainting colours also allow for some interesting effects to come through to the upper layers of paint in his work.

Sgraffito is another method that Scott applies to his work - the scratching back effects that can be achieved through layers of colour and as a method of incorporating detail in thick painted textures. He works on canvas, board, wood or hardboard and stretched canvas.

Scott's work can be described as impressionist , expressionist to abstract landscape, seascape and skyscapes.
