Stephen Alpe

I use watercolour and although it is often described as a difficult medium, it can be worked on in a restricted environment.
Most of my pictures are + A3 in size. I use various types of watercolour paper, the most frequently used is Bockingford 190lbs.
Over the years I have built up an eclectic mix of paintings that I hope to be able to show to a wide audience. Some of my pictures have had reactions from some viewers that have been
interesting to say the least.
Please send me a message about what You think about them. Is good to hear what your potential customers think of your work. That is half the fun. Enjoy.

Artistic background

I started pencil sketching as a teenager in the late 1980s. I decided to try watercolours after seeing bird illustrations by renowned bird artist David Reid-Henry.
It was a lot more difficult, than I first thought , but I did persevere and was able to illustrate magazines and journals.
I changed from painting natural history subjects to doing a mixture of abstract and social comment illustrations.
After applying online, I was selected to present two framed paintings to the Royal Cambrian Academy Annual open Exhibition in 2021. The then Prince Charles, being a patron of the Royal Cambrian Gallery, in Conwy, North Wales.
