Summer Fun: Watercolour Masterclass with Local Artist Stu Doherty

Join local artist Stu Doherty in a watercolour masterclass to create an Australian bush landscape with watercolour and metallic elements; concentrating on colour mixing and transparent layers.

Stu’s detailed watercolour paintings are calm and mesmerising, they glorify the beauty of native plants in delicate detail and colour.

Watercolour can take years to master; Stu will share his wealth of knowledge and passion for this unpredictable medium with practical demonstrations and exercises.

Unleash your creativity as you dive into the soothing flow of pigment and water on paper under Stu's expert guidance. From delicate washes to wet-in-wet, you'll learn the secrets of layering, blending, adding gouache and creating textures with graphite, taking your skills to new heights while painting a local specimen of Banksia.

All materials and light refreshments are supplied.

BYO lunch.

Stu Doherty

Port Macquarie is home to Australian artist Stu Doherty, the land of the Biripi people inspires and directs his gentle watercolour practice. Born in Camden, southwest of Sydney and studying at East Sydney Technical College in the late 90’s, Stu has always drawn inspiration from his natural surroundings.

An essential element of Doherty’s creative process is being physically present in the landscape, where he spends time walking, collecting objects and photographing daily. These collected items and photographs become the foundation of his studio work, serving as inspiration for quick watercolour studies and texture experiments that then inform and direct his larger finished works on paper.
