A Light Touch: Landscapes in Oils: David Curtis
CODE VD1016

David's unique approach to oil painting enables him to capture the mood and atmosphere of his subjects. Working in his native Yorkshire, he paints Staithes harbour with boats moored in the river, a colourful beach scene and an autumnal view of bridge and stream painted 'contre jour'.

Light Effects in Watercolour: David Curtis
CODE VD1024

David has a wonderful eye for choosing subjects and here he concentrates mainly on interiors. Firstly an old forgotten corner of a barn with farm implements and light streaming through the door, then the interior of a boat builders yard with work in progress. As a slightly simpler subject he paints in a farmyard - an old barn, trees and lots of atmosphere.

Painting in Cornwall, David illustrates his approach to watercolour. Boats in an estuary and the village of Cadgwith viewed from the beach are painted on site. A further scene of a wooded bay with boats is painted in the studio, using an oil painting as source material.
