Charles Stup
is an award winning artist who specializes in plein air landscape painting. Using oil as a medium, the artist enjoys the spontaneity and freshness of painting on location. While striking his own path, he credits late nineteenth century French Impressionist and early twentieth century California Impressionist artists as strong influences on his work. He has developed his technique through formal education and a multitude of workshops with respected painters from around the country. His work has appeared in shows and exhibitions throughout the United States and is held in various private collections. He resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
