About me & my paintings
NewportArtistJB is a gallery of images by myself, Justin Brown. I've lived in Newport for a while, since 1969, when I was five.
I like to work directly from life, in 'plein air' . My watercolour sketches are really just coloured in drawings. They sometimes look a bit rougher than studio paintings, but I hope they have a directness that's not achieved in any other way. So if you spot someone sketching in Newport or surrounding areas it may well be me.
Half the pictures on the Newport Gallery page, the more 'finished' looking ones, were done in my studio. (which means my attic), but they are always based on sketches from life. - Except the pen and Ink pictures which are based on my photos. All the images on other pages are from life.
