Innocence of Childhood


Julie Newitt has an incredible ability to radiate the magic and innocence of small children, her images capture moments of pure delight with touches of whimsy and charm. Illistrations full of nostalgia that fill parents and grandparents with childhood memories, yet are still so totally 21st century.

Julie works on the finest traditional watercolour paper spending most of her time using the smallest of brushess applying the finest of details.

Much of the inspiration for Julie's endering images come from her own children and their sense of discovery of even the simplest of things.

What she conveys in her art is a sense of wonder and the viewer can not help but capture that memory, that sense of untroubled joy that only comes with the innocence of childhood.

I saw Julie's work at a recent exhibition and was really impressed by the delicacy of the work. The web could never do justice to the intricate details of her work

Just the subject without the background makes it more striking. Nice
