Alistair Walton

​I am an Edinburgh based figurative artist painting the figure and, more recently, land and seascapes. Although with no formal training, I was extremely fortunate to receive individual tuition from an exceptional talented figurative painter where the emphasis was on representational accuracy, technique and the development of interesting imagery.

 

From the beginning, I was drawn to painting the human figure. Generally, the paintings are of a single figure in space with simple, uncluttered backgrounds allowing the focus to fall on the figure with the interplay of light and shade an important element.

 

More recently, mainly due to a number of enquiries, I have been painting land and seascapes which I will continue to develop.

 

Previously, my career was in senior financial management with a global financial services company.
