He has taught numerous art classes, given demonstrations throughout the UK & is always keen to pass on to others his years of experience as an oil painter. David works in fine detail, in the traditional classic style, & strongly believes a painting should have character & 'presence'. He is fascinated by the interplay of light within a painting, & more recently has begun to explore a greater variety & subtler use of colour in his work.
