Sue Howells
Watercolour
Artist
Born Birmingham 1948
Recently voted the
best selling female artist in the UK by The Fine Art Trade
Guild Sue Howells' art has recently become a much sought
after commodity.
Known for her interpretation
of landscapes and buildings, she has developed a uniquely bold
and vivid style. Her blend of moody atmospheres and delicate abstraction
has won her numerous awards and sell out shows across the country.
Recently focusing
on towns and their inhabitants Sue has created a new world within
watercolours. “On the Street Where You Live,” one
of her best sellers, the viewer is drawn into the magically dark
and translucent street heaving with wandering locals.
Sue recently commented,
"I paint solely in watercolours aiming to produce pictures
which are both energetic and of a strong compositional value.
By using a great economy of brushstroke, I work as loosely as
possible, letting the paint speak for itself as watercolours can
be controlled but never bullied. I spend much of my time in Pembrokeshire
recording the moody winter atmosphere of the coastal towns."
Sue continues to broaden
her range of subjects, maintaining her national appeal and will
be a well respected artist for the foreseeable future.
