Since graduating from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee in 1990, Jonathan Mitchell has developed a considerable reputation as a painter of the Scottish landscape with his work collected by patrons both in the UK and internationally. Primarily working in oils, his painting is firmly within the Northern European tradition; both detailed and atmospheric. Mitchell says of his own work: 
“I am very much a realist artist. My work derives directly from things and places as I have found them. I try to evoke a sense of place and to communicate to the viewer what it felt like to be there; how cold or warm it was, how it felt underfoot and even what smells and sounds were there. And, of course, light – how the Scottish
landscape looks when bathed in sunlight.”
