Nigel Wade is a Kent based artist who primarily uses watercolour to create his hyperrealistic paintings.

His particular interest is his own take on “Hyperrealism”, the creation of highly detailed, realistic images, with a strong focus on the use of light and colour.

While he tackles a range of subjects, he is known for his naturalistic landscapes, seascapes and architectural subjects.

I’ve been working away on this huge commission - 120 cm x 82 cm - for months, so I’d thought I’d post a work in progress of a little corner of the painting. To give an idea there are 143 windows in the whole painting, all painted in watercolour in minute detail. I should loosen up, it’d be much quicker, LOL!

My Mum, Joyce Wade, passed away peacefully in her sleep early yesterday morning, after a short illness. She was nearly 96 and we as a family were so fortunate to have her in our lives for so long. Mum was a wonderful person, kind, caring and just lovely. She will be missed greatly. Here’s a photo of her as we will remember her, just 3 years ago, always with her lovely smile.

Two seasonal watercolours from the archives while I plough on with the massive commission I’m currently doing of the Dover Marina Hotel. These are two I painted in 2016, showing the front and rear elevations of a Suffolk longhouse in snow. Pretty much monochromatic except for the wonderful traditional Suffolk pink paint. #nigelwadeart #watercolour #suffolklonghouse #snowpainting

Here goes! The stretched blank sheet of watercolour paper in front of me is 122 cm x 82 cm, ie it’s huge! I’m embarking on the biggest and most intricate watercolour of an architectural subject I’ve ever done. I’m going to be a bit tied up with this commission for a few months! www.nigelwadeart.com #nigelwadeart
