Born in 1848, Ouless honed his skills under the guidance of Colonel Sir Charles Seely, a renowned art patron and collector. With each stroke of his brush, he brought life to countless individuals who graced his canvas. One notable subject immortalized by Ouless was Andrew Carnegie, the British-born American entrepreneur.

His depiction of Sir Horace Jones in 1886 showcases not only Jones' architectural prowess but also reveals Ouless' ability to capture intricate details with precision and finesse. The artist's skill extended beyond capturing individuals; he also painted esteemed religious figures such as His Eminence Cardinal Manning in 1889. Through careful brushwork and attention to detail, Ouless managed to convey both Manning's spiritual wisdom and gentle demeanor. In one particularly significant piece from 1911, King George V stands tall on the eve of his coronation. This portrait serves as a testament to both Ouless' technical mastery and his ability to encapsulate regal majesty within every stroke. Throughout his career spanning several decades, Walter William Ouless left an indelible mark on the art world with portraits that exuded depth and character.
