David works en plein air, drawing places and the life of London. He enjoys being on location, embracing the atmosphere of each place and allowing it to inspire his creative process.

   Sitting for hours, David distils the ever-changing scene before him, adding, eliminating and rearranging subjects as the picture develops. Working with a mixture of graphite, ink and watercolour, he captures not simply what he sees, but his response to the character and energy of the place.

   David enjoys following themes through the city, seeking out the little-known and finding different angles on familiar places. For him, the pleasure lies in looking closely, discovering something unexpected.
