An excellent and strong example of his Yorkshire coast paintings.

Robert Leslie Howey was born in 1900 in Hartlepool. He was the son of the Staithes Group artist, John William Howey (1873 – 1938), who – although recognized by his peers as a serious artist – never practiced his art professionally, but remained employed by the gas and water board.__His son, Robert, seems to have had similar equivocations about a career in painting (although when young he cleaned his father’s brushes and befriended other Staithes artists – Rowland Hill and Mark Senior): he did not enter the West Hartlepool School of Art until he was in his thirties. He appears to have started his artistic life by drawing and sketching, visiting local beauty spots such as Runswick Bay and Whitby.

Howey exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy, the Laing Gallery, Newcastle, the Redfern Gallery, London, and other provincial galleries; he also had a solo show in Hartlepool in 1949.

FAQs

20th-century British landscape watercolours are known for expressive brushwork, atmospheric washes, and realistic depictions of historic architecture and natural light. Artists focused on capturing mood and weather conditions through fluid technique and subtle colour palettes.

Traditional watercolour paintings utilise fine ground pigments suspended in a water-soluble binder, typically gum arabic, applied onto heavy cotton or linen rag paper. Highlights are often achieved by leaving the white paper exposed or adding subtle opaque bodycolour.

Authenticity is verified by examining the artists signature, inspecting paper age and watermarks, and evaluating brush technique consistent with the artists known catalogue. Inspecting original framing, labels, and provenance records also helps confirm origins.

Display the painting in a simple timber or gilded frame with an acid-free mount to complement its tones. It functions well as a focal accent on a neutral wall, within a traditional gallery wall arrangement, or positioned above low-level furniture.

Frame the artwork behind UV-protective glass and mount it using conservation-grade, acid-free materials. Keep the picture away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and heat sources to prevent paper yellowing, foxing, and pigment fading.
