One from a few years ago; ‘On Land’, acrylic paint on panel. I’d almost forgotten about this piece but after rediscovering it, I really like it. It will feature in my next solo exhibition where it will be available to purchase. #acrylicpainting #abandonedplaces #landscapepainting

A small pencil drawing of 'Old Harry' following a recent trip to Dorset. There are some inspiring views in that area and I'm tempted to make a few new pieces of some of them. #pencildrawing #landscapedrawing #sketchbook

'After the Rain', oil on canvas (40 x30 cm). This one is from a few years ago but still feels new to me. Over the last few years I've been really interested in misty landscapes and this area of Cannock Chase Forest was inspiring . #oilpainting #landscapepainting #fineart #cannockchaseforest

One from the recent past, 'Alderley Edge', ink pen on paper. I like working with ink from time to time and enjoy building up layers of texture through multiple flicks of the pen. #inkpen #pendrawing #alderleyedge #nationaltrust #finelinerart

'Bad Eddie', graphitint and pencil on paper. A new drawing featuring the shipwreck on Bunbeg Beach in County Donegal. I visited the area last year on a trip to Ireland and found some inspiring landscapes. I have always been fascinated by abandoned things! #pencildrawing #countydonegal #bunbeg

Mark Lippett @marklippettart.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I've just completed a new acrylic painting titled 'Autumn Rain'. This piece is inspired by a photo my son took during a walk in Yorkshire. I rarely work off other people's photos but was immediately drawn to the remote building within the natural landscape and felt the need to paint it.

I’m very grateful to have air conditioning in my studio right now! Here’s a pencil drawing I made in the recent past featuring Cannock Chase in the Winter. Perhaps it might cool you down? It is called ‘Waiting’. #pencildrawing #WinterLandscape #trees

Mark Lippett @marklippettart.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Today I’ve been experimenting with Quink and white ink on some new landscapes. I like the mix of loose and focused drawing as well as the random shapes and colours that appear as the ink dries. #inkdrawing #quink #experimental

Mark Lippett @marklippettart.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Today I’m creating some exercises for a school workshop where I combine Quink, ink pen and perhaps a little white ink. Here’s one of my own from the recent past featuring Cannock Chase Forest. It’s interesting combining focused drawing with experimental effects. #ink #drawing #woodland

Mark Lippett @marklippettart.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Mark Lippett @marklippettart.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

I have been focusing on the landscape for quite a while in my work. The urban and the natural scenes that inspire me are all linked by the power of nature. Here's one from a few years ago, following a trip to the Highlands; 'Aonach Mor II'. #acrylicpainting #landscapepainting #scotland

Mark Lippett @marklippettart.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Mark Lippett @marklippettart.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

I've had a day in the studio today due to travel plans being disrupted by snow. I finished off a commission and then made a few alterations to my last oil painting. This is 'Derryvaugh Mountains' and is inspired by a trip to County Donegal last year. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #countydonegal
