Doerner's artistic education was at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich where he studied under Johann Caspar Herterich and Wilhelm von Diez. His style was impressionistic. He travelled around Europe, in particular to the Low Countries and Italy, and studied the old techniques of painting. He is most noted for his work The Materials of the Artist and Their Use in Painting, first published in 1921.[1][2]

His approach inspired the founding of the Doerner Institute.[3][4]

He was also an instructor at the Munich Academy, where his students included Karl Gatermann the Younger.
