DJ is an independent freelance artist, developing his style initially within the commercial world. More recently as a tutor, running classes, and workshops, and writing articles for art magazines.

“Painting outdoors ‘en plein air’ is simply the best way to really immerse yourself in a landscape and connect with your subject… Back in my studio, I will then use these ‘Plein air’ studies as reference for colour, tone and light, and my photos for composition and detail”.

David will demonstrate a variety of techniques using palette knives, brushes and figures to achieve a wide range of texture and patterns found in nature.
