I am John Gerrie a Scottish watercolour artist from Aberdeen.
My love for art began during my school years, where I first explored creativity through drawing and painting. Although life led me down a different path as a chartered surveyor with architectural experience, sketching and detailed drawings remained a part of my professional life, quietly nurturing my artistic foundation.
In 2017, upon retiring, Alison encouraged me to join a local art class. Within just a few months, I completed my first watercolour—a painting of the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle. This marked the beginning of a new chapter where my architectural background seamlessly blended with my artistic pursuits.
Today, I specialize in watercolours, a medium both challenging and rewarding. My work reflects a love for detail and includes a range of subjects: historic buildings, landscapes, seascapes, village scenes, and intricate pen-and-ink combinations.
I also take great joy in creating commissioned pieces, collaborating with clients to craft unique artworks that hold personal meaning and bring lasting joy.
