About

Since taking up painting in 2002, first in watercolour then other mediums, Hugh has built on a strong drawing background, attending many painting workshops with some of the best Australian artists.  Working primarily in watercolours and pen & wash, he finds some subjects lend themselves to pastels, acrylics, charcoal or oils. 
Hugh is currently undertaking a Diploma of Fine Art at the Royal Art Society of NSW.  He’s interested in a wide range of subjects from still-life to portraits, but has a continuing interest in sketching and painting landscapes.  He has won a number of awards in regional art exhibitions, and undertakes commissions (including paintings weddings live) and does some teaching and demonstrations in pen and wash, and watercolour.
He pursues his passion by sketching in cafés, painting out doors and on holiday, as well as painting with other enthusiasts from the Society of Artists Newcastle.
