I find Frith’s work absolutely amazing, his dynamic style is contagious, it just that type of art that give you that push to start drawing immediately, and with the thought that maybe you will be able to create something as amazing as you just saw. He is basically drawing and painting celebrities, or seascapes, which are quite common things, but what I personally find the style and the coloring mind-blowing, and even if it’s not 100% photo realistic, I appreciate the small signs of brush on the paper, because otherwise it could lose exactly what makes it special.

As you can see yourself in the pictures, his use of watercolors is so controlled and thought trough, I think that he considers every bit of color that goes on the page, and having that control in your mind it helps, because it’s like you already see the image in your head, before it goes on a surface, and it can help improve it, and make it look so much better. My favorite image is the one on the beach, with the sun coming out of the clouds, I love the contrast and coloring.
