FrostS Fine Art

About

When I'm not engineering by day, I find my calling as an artist and photographer!
Artist at work
I have been painting and drawing for over three decades and find it gives a wonderful creative crossover with photography. I currently live in Hampshire, England, but have lived in Austria, Dubai and France in the past, so I have an eclectic range of inspiring scenes and experiences.

I have painted many scenes abroad and I am now looking for inspiration in the harmony and contrast between natural landscapes and man-made structures in England. I am particularly interested in depicting light and shadows in seasonal scenes.
I primarily paint with watercolours and acrylics; the fluidity of watercolours is wonderful for capturing changing skies and water, whereas I use acrylics to build up very detailed pictures.

I am particularly influenced by the French Impressionist movement, by artists such as Renoir - known for showing dappled light - and by Seurat for his theories on Pointillism and complimentary colour theory. But I also draw on the long history of English landscape artists such as Constable and Turner.

I also love photography and undertake commissions and submit to online stock photo agency Alamy: Stephen Frost Portfolio
