Watercolours
David is one of Australia's leading watercolourists and is renowned internationally for his painting and teaching.
He served a six-year apprenticeship with a photo engraving firm as a color etcher and engraver and he’s applied what he learned about colour and composition to his own watercolour work.
David’s 40-year painting career has earned him more than 100 awards and his paintings are in collections all over the world. He’s held regular one-man exhibitions of his work since 1975. In each exhibition he expresses his love of working freely on location and his love of spontaneity, shape, light and colour. He is inspired by subjects that convey atmosphere, mood and feeling.
There have been many varying influences on his painting journey and he aspires to the Impressionist Monet, Turner, and the expressive John Singer Sargent, to name but a few. David says: “It is of high importance for me to say more with less…to discard the inessential…to be simple and poetic not only in the treatment of the subject but in the technical manner of the painting.”
