De Bruyn Ouboter werd geboren op 7 juli 1894 in Hulst. Later verhuist hij naar Den Haag. In 1922 gaat hij naar Munchen. Twee jaar later vertrekt hij naar Parijs en bezoekt daar de Parijse academie La Grande Choumière. Na Parijs volgt Italië. Maar De Bruyn Ouboter houdt niet van het felle zuidelijke licht. Binnen een jaar keert hij terug naar Den Haag en volgt nog drie jaar lessen aan de Haagse academie.Vanaf 1931 heeft De Bruyn Ouboter aan de aquarel besteed.
Kenmerkend voor zijn werk is de transparante lichtheid waarmee hij zijn onderwerpen schilderde. In al zijn schilderijen speelt het licht een grote rol. De aquarellen wekken vaak de indruk dat ze net zo luchtig zijn ontstaan als het lichtvoetige en ongekunstelde resultaat doet vermoeden. Het tegendeel is waar; De Bruyn Ouboter heeft zijn aquarellen altijd met de grootste inspanning tot stand gebracht. Daarbij trok hij bovendien het resultaat keer op keer in twijfel. Hij zei wel eens: 'Waarom ik ermee begon is me nog steeds een raadsel, maar ik moest het gewoon.'
