Bob Doughty
Watercolor
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Bob graduated from Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles (now California School of the Arts in Valencia) where he studied with many of the masters of California Regionalism, including Rex Brandt, Watson Cross, Elmer Plummer and Dan Lutz. After Chouinard he worked as a commercial artist for several aerospace companies, preparing satellite renderings, portraits and paintings of military and commercial subjects.
Retired from aerospace, he now enjoys the luxury of painting the natural beauty of California and the West in his medium of choice - usually watercolor. He specializes in paintings of ships and the LA harbor, as well as landscapes and figure studies. He accepts portrait commissions, working in oil, watercolor and pencil, and will provide caricatures for special occasions.
Bob is a member of the Society of Illustrators, Los Angeles, National Watercolor Society, American Watercolor Society, Watercolor West and several Palos Verdes peninsula art associations. Work can be seen at the Palos Verdes Art Center's Artists' Studio Gallery at The Avenue of the Peninsula and at Rex's Cafe, Pacific and 22nd, San Pedro. He maintains a studio at the Loft, 4th and Mesa, San Pedro, which is open every month on the evening of the First Thursday and by appointment.
