About Steve PP Contemporary Coastal Impressionist.

I am an artist living in Woolacombe on the North Devon Coast.

Working outdoor Plein Air sketches and studies using gouache paint into finished larger acrylic paintings on canvas, in my Woolacombe studio gallery. I love painting in a passionate impressionist style.

Painting mostly outdoors on Woolacombe Beach and along the Devon and Cornwall coastline.

Colour and sunlight feature strongly in my paintings. We all feel that positive hit to our mood when we see that stretch of shoreline lit by the morning sun, or the warm glow of a late October afternoon’s light on the sand dunes after a fresh invigorating beach walk.

Topped off with  an incredible sunset filling the sky,  colours intensifying as it sinks below the horizon behind Lundy.

When I paint, my goal is to create art that’s full of light and passionate colour, uplifting and joyous that brings a smile or a fond memory every time that you gaze at it.

A priceless quality that lasts over time.

Painting the Outdoors With Passion! 

Nothing nourishes you more than painting and sketching in warm sunshine.

Filling your senses with strong light, shadow and vibrant colour.   After a day’s painting, I feel exhausted and at the same time hugely contented.

I want nothing more than to share the joy and beauty of the coast with you in all of its uplifting colour.

My aim is to create paintings that revel in the beauty of nature.

Which hopefully in turn connect my pleasure in being out on the coast to you.
