He was educated at Leeds High School and during the evenings studied at Leeds School Of Art under Gilbert Foster who was a pioneer of the art colony at Staithes.

Owen Bowen received his first paint box as a christmas present when he was four. His brother, Miles, provided his initial art training but he soon came under the influence of Gilbert Foster at evening classes in the Leeds School of Art and privately at his studio.

He first exhibited in 1888 at the age of fifteen. The Yorkshire Union of Artists was formed in that year and he was involved at the very outset, winning two medals in the amateur section. At the second annual exhibition, four of his landscapes were hung in prominent positions. A fracas with the secretary during the third annual exhibition resulted in his expulsion at the age of only seventeen.

He had his own studio at eighteen and started exhibiting at the Royal Academy the following year. During the subsequent years, he regularly visited Staithes. To assist these summer activities, he rented a cottage for over ten years at Robin Hood's Bay. He exhibited extensively and mounted two major exhibitions of his own work.

FAQs

Mid-20th-century sepia watercolours rely on tonal variation rather than full colour to depict light, texture, and depth. Artists often documented historic architecture and domestic scenes, using brown wash techniques to create atmospheric shadows and emphasize structural features.

These works are created using water-soluble sepia pigment or ink applied with soft brushes onto heavy cotton rag or cellulose paper. The natural paper tone provides the highlights, while layered washes build tonal values from translucent tan to deep umber.

Authenticity is determined by examining artist signatures, dates, hand-applied wash layers, and paper characteristics under magnification. Original works show natural pigment settling, slight age-related toning, and evidence of hand drawing or pencil under-drawing.

Sepia artwork complements modern spaces with neutral colour palettes, oak furniture, and brass accents. Displaying framed tonal art in a gallery wall or above a console table provides architectural interest without overwhelming contemporary decor.

Watercolours should be framed behind UV-protective glass using acid-free mounting materials and matting to prevent paper contact with the glass. Keep artwork away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent fading and foxing.
