About this artwork
An original watercolour picture in portrait format, on Windsor & Newton Cotman, 140lbs watercolour paper.
I wanted to produce a true abstract painting, using the clean and dramatic curves of semi-circles.
Watercolour can be a difficult medium to achieve clear washes but by understanding it, success can be achieved. I feel I have made the grade on this creation. With the dark lines on the ocre area looking a bit like gun barrel riffling , the tone… has been set for 007.

Credentials

I, Stephen Alpe, a self-taught watercolourist, started painting in watercolours back in 1986. Impressed by the artwork in ornithological books illustrated by artits such as David Reid-Henry. I strived to achieve the same level of excellence, but, where as, Reid Henry made it look like the subjects were about to fly off the page, my initial efforts looked like they had been carved out of stone!
I did, in time improve and was able to illustrate a few calendars and magazines.
On moving to the UK in 2007, I moved into painting landscapes and news items that caught my imagination. From 2012, I began to notice the works of the street artist Banksy. Other artists that I admire include Wassily Kadinski, Joan Miro and Pol Ledent.
