Stephen Cooper - Wolverhampton based portrait artist.
Comfortable with most subject matter, in fact anything you desire although portraits are a speciality.
The examples of work on these pages provide an insight into my style of oil painting. If at first glance they appear highly finished, closer detail reveals a loose style, providing a unique quality that cannot be captured by photography alone.
I paint in my spare time as often as possible and take all my own photographs of subjects to work from as this enables the best use of my available time. And because I embrace the electronic world, working from a series of my own digital photos, you have no inconvenience of several lengthy sittings, just one session for photographic references is usually all that is required, as not everyone is comfortable with the formal sittings often associated with portraits in oil. If you have any particular concerns or questions please email me and I will personally respond to all enquiries. |
