My Latest Work

18th July. Another signed print is ready to fly off through the night! This time it’s my #illustration of the ‘Amazon Rainforest’ from ‘My Pop-Up World Atlas’ for Catherine & Isaac in Sowerby Bridge, Halifax, UK. I sell hand signed prints of all my artwork.

11th July. This is another of my favourite paintings from when I was a 2nd year Illustration student back in 1996. I created this fictional ‘Loughborough Balloon Festival’ for an advertising project. This was a very positive turning point for my colours, pattern and sense of 3D and also in terms of working out dynamic compositions.  I sell prints of all my artwork and illustrations any size. Please get in touch if you are interested in a hand sign print.

11th July. I’ve been looking back at some of my student work recently from when I was a 2nd year Illustration student at Loughborough University. I created this painting of ‘Prague’ after a trip to the city in 1996. I did a sketch from the top of St Vitus Cathedral looking over the city and then created this full colour illustration back in the studio. It was the first time I was happy with my colours, pattern and sense of 3D! I left it unfinished as I wanted to show some of my pencil drawing underneath and also the surface I was working on which was glued down tissue paper on heavy cartridge paper.

7th July. This is my hand painted experimental ‘Diversity’ artwork. A collection of lively and colourful figures. It’s going to be the first in a series….more to come soon. I sell hand signed prints of all my artwork and illustrations any size here http://shop.stephenwaterhouse.com
