Scott Pleydell-Pearce

We are so excited to welcome back local watercolour artist Scott Pleydell-Pearce to the Pop Up art space in September.

Scott has been an artist all of his life, mainly working professionally in the world of animation. Scott’s self-taught watercolour style is best described as Bold, Energetic and Dynamic. He has the ability to draw and paint very accurately but also turn his hand to a looser approach as well. Embracing and enjoying the outdoors, Scott paints En Plein Air (in the open) as much as possible as nature is truly the greatest teacher.
