DAVID BUXTON

From a very early age, David has been absorbed in the world of drawing and painting, constantly following a journey of fascination and discovery which neither knows no boundaries nor has pre-conceived ideas. He has explored a whole variety of media applications including oil, water colour pastels and acrylic paint. Over the past few years, he has become increasingly interested and influenced by the true potential and plasticity of the medium of acrylic, which not only allows transparent water colour glazing techniques but also, the simple daubing of paint on to canvas, similar to oil paint but with a characteristic reduction in the drying time. Exciting less conventional styles involving still life and landscape painting have been explored combining the characteristics of both water colour and impasto to achieve interesting effects with the same subject matter. He is a dedicated and enthusiastic artist who is only too keen to share his experience and expertise that others may benefit by his example.
