David’s work is mostly a more contemporary style, and he works principally with oils on canvas. Although his illustration work is watercolour and ink. He employs the impasto technique, which enables a contemporary feel to his finished pieces.

“By commissioning a painting you’ve chosen to have an original creative record, a moment captured in time.”
Common Questions Answered
What style of painting will I get?
Can you work from a photograph or travel to me?
David works from his home studio but is also happy to travel and work on location.
Modern cameras have become a vital tool for artists. They can achieve amazing results as true focal distances and wide-angle depths of field have greatly improved. So you can send pictures if that’s what you prefer.
Can you tell when a landscape painting is painted en plein air (on location)?
Yes, there’s often a unique energy and spontaneity in a painting created en plein air. That said, many clients choose to commission David by sending photographs of a place that is meaningful to them. It’s absolutely fine to work this way. By commissioning a painting, whether from life or a photo, you are creating an original and lasting record of a moment or landscape that matters to you.
With regard to horses, if it’s a portrait, all David needs is “someone to hold the lead rein”, and that’s about it.
Will the picture be framed?
That decision is entirely up to the customer. You can commission a piece either framed or unframed.
What does it cost?
That decision is entirely up to the customer. You can commission a piece either framed or unframed.
