Original Watercolours Direct From The Artist's Studio

Sue Howells was born in 1948. She has enjoyed great success, winning the Solomon and Whitehead Award in 2008, followed by being recognised by the Fine Art Trade Guild of Great Britain as the best selling published artist in the UK.

Sue says of her work, “I don’t usually plan my paintings in advance. Starting with a loose wash, I let one brush stroke lead to another, always looking for the perfect composition, cropping along the way to get the right balance.”

The enjoyment of using pure watercolour is important to Sue, exploring the effect of this elusive medium, letting the beauty of the paper shine through. Known for her interpretation of landscapes and buildings, Sue has developed a bold and vivid style to express her view of the world and bring perspective to her paintings.

She works mainly in watercolours, but loves to experiment with other media. She continues to broaden her range of subjects, maintaining her energy and colours by using an economy of brush strokes. She works as loosely as possible, allowing watercolours to be controlled but never bullied.
