Here's what you need to know about attending our events.

Event Artist

Melbourne artist Lindsay McDougall is skilled in portraiture and landscape. Using many different mediums, including watercolour, acrylics, pencil and charcoal, Lindsay strives to create work that captivates the viewer rather than just a direct copy of the subject. Lindsay's recent works lean more towards watercolour and acrylics, utilising a similar wash technique as watercolour and blending this with the medium’s opaque nature. His teaching style is to focus on developing techniques that provide students with the knowledge to become creative artists in their own right.
