[VIDEO] Western Suburbs | You Will Be in Awe of this Amazing Artist’s Paintings!

Author // Georgina Auton, Place Graceville

James Stead started painting for a hobby almost 25 years ago and, during that time, he turned professional.

He regularly paints scenes from the western suburbs of Brisbane and some of his favourites are the countryside of Brookfield and the Queenslanders in 4075.

James’ favourite medium is watercolour and he says he loves how quickly a painting can take shape.

Watercolour is an interesting medium because you have to change the way you paint depending on the weather if you’re outdoors.

We meet James in Chelmer’s beautiful Laurel avenue and spectate as he paints an historic Queenslander.
