Stu Doherty is a contemporary watercolour and gouache artist whose work explores the layered beauty and complex history of the Australian landscape. Working on paper with meticulous, meditative precision, Stu captures both the physical textures and the deep emotional resonance of the land. His practice is defined by transparent washes, grainy textures, and carefully masked highlights, finished with cold wax to invite a more intimate encounter with the work - free from the barrier of glass.
Drawing inspiration from the Australian bush, Stu makes eucalyptus trees a recurring subject, celebrating their striking forms and the way they anchor the landscape. His compositions often balance crisp, clean lines with delicate tonal shifts, creating a contrast that heightens depth and draws the viewer into the scene. Every detail is considered, from the shimmer of light on leaves to the subtle textures of bark and earth, offering a quiet reverence for place.
