Eleanor Doughty

Eleanor Doughty is a Seattle-based artist originally from Virginia. Her mixed media work captures realistic subjects and imbues them with significance and character. Inspired by artists such as Charley Harper and Masaaki Yuasa, Doughty‘s style has been described as lighthearted and nostalgic while seeking clarity and visual impact in her drawings. Doughty has been traveling internationally to teach on-location sketching since 2019. She writes the newsletter Hand To Paper on Substack and co-hosts the popular Street View World Tour on Zoom with Jenny Adam. Outside of urban sketching, Doughty is a freelance illustrator, specializing in large format works up to two stories tall.
