Sean Friloux began working as a graphic designer and draftsman developing design and drawing principles. In 2014-2015, Sean studied bold watercolor methods under the guidance of Joseph Zbukvic. Now, working in watercolor, charcoal and oils allows Sean to fully explore light for a maximum impact. Sean’s recent subjects are scenes we see every day and possibly overlook such as driving across town or the infrastructure of a city. They are not the obvious beautiful scenes, they are the everyday normal scenes depicted in a beautiful, captivating light.
Friloux aims primarily to convey a mood or create a sense of atmosphere. “A painting that exudes a particular mood has more longevity than a painting made simply to depict an interesting car or house,” he says. “That’s the essence of what I do when I paint on location: I soak up the mood, the light, the sounds, and imbue the work with all of those details.” (American Watercolor Weekly 4.16.18)
Sean’s featured piece, Henri’s, does just that—soaks up the mood and the atmosphere as the local bar waits to welcome the evening visitors. Henri’s is an award-winning piece, winning the “People’s Choice” award during the Eureka Springs Plein Air (ESPA) competition in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, in May. Painted during the daylight in watercolor, you can see the shadows and the movement that surround this alley and stairway, located between historic buildings in this mountainous, picturesque small town.
