Derek Fielding is an English contemporary painter best known for his atmospheric landscapes and cityscapes that evoke nostalgia, quiet drama, and a strong sense of place. Working primarily in watercolour and mixed media, his style is characterised by expressive mark-making, simplified forms, and a distinctive use of light and shadow that gives his scenes a timeless, almost dreamlike quality. Fielding often depicts urban streets, industrial buildings, and rural settings, balancing loose, intuitive brushwork with carefully controlled composition. His paintings favour mood over detail, drawing viewers into familiar yet emotionally charged environments that feel both personal and universal, and his work is widely collected for its warmth, accessibility, and evocative storytelling.
