About The Artist

I am a self-taught artist, recently retired from my business UK Caricatures but continue to paint for my own pleasure. In a leisurely way, I am currently producing a collection of paintings of scenes along the River Wey with a view to exhibiting them as a collection when I have enough to do so.

I've been painting at home in Bookham near Leatherhead in Surrey since 1986, after a career as a cartographic draughtsman. All of my work was commissioned by businesses and private individuals. I work mainly in gouache watercolour, but I occasionally use graphite pencil and oils.
I rarely exhibit my work but have had one exhibition in Leatherhead Theatre, where 2 of my paintings were stolen! The first and only time it has happened at that venue in 25 years.

For the previous 25 years, I had been concentrating on producing 'caricature' or humorous portrait watercolour paintings for businesses around the UK. My 'caricatures' are NOT really caricatures in that I do not exaggerate the facial features of the person and they are not quick sketches or drawings.

My clients have always preferred to see the subjects being instantly recognisable. Each one takes me several days to complete so I DO NOT attend functions, weddings etc. where a quick sketch artist is required. I am happy to undertake a painting or drawing on any subject, providing a nice clear photo reference is supplied. Occasionally, if the photo/s are not of sufficient quality, I take the photographs myself, if it's feasible to do so.

Corporate and Portrait Caricatures

Businesses and private individuals around the country have been delighted with David’s paintings and drawings since 1986. His corporate caricatures have graced the walls of many homes and offices for over 25 years. Over that time, his work as a caricature artist has brought a wealth of experience, acquired to meet customers' needs.

Each picture is normally supplied mounted and framed or unframed if preferred. His role as caricature artist has won him many corporate commissions. Satisfied corporate customers to date include: Agfa, BP, GlaxoSmithKline, Biwater, Sainsbury Savacentre, Thorn Lighting Ltd., Lafarge Roofing, British Army and many more.

About The Artist

Born in what was the British Protectorate of Aden in South Yemen in 1955. The love of painting, drawing and the beauty of the written word has dominated my life. My professional career began in corporate design leading to exhibition and interior design, culminating in my own design practice in the early eighties.

The spiritual aspect of humanity is a strong influence in my life, and as a result I entered the Benedictine monastery of Quarr Abbey for several years, where I was introduced to bookbinding and the restoration of books. Since leaving monasticism I have continued to develop fine painting, calligraphy and bookbinding.

The love of blending colour and texture in painting, the use of line in drawing, the beauty of the written word in calligraphy and the three dimensional aspect of bookbinding, bring together elements that compliment each other well.

The majority of my work is through commissions, supported by solo and joint exhibitions.

Varied Fine Art Painting & Drawing Categories

These include Architectural, Garden, Botanical, Portraiture and General - The selection on this site gives an indication of the varied work of the artist. More can be seen on his two websites (see the links above).

Reference for my work is either from life, photographs or a combination of both, whichever the occasion demands. Often many commissions are gifts and therefore a surprise, or maybe circumstances do not permit, so working with the subject matter is not all ways possible. In such cases a selection of images of the same subject is always a great help.

I use various media; oils, watercolour, pastel, acrylic, inks and pencil (monochrome). I enjoy texture in my work wherever possible along with detail and tend to be traditional in my approach. Commissions for some clients have been strongly impressionist and or using vivid colour allowing freedom in colour and form.

Art Prints

Small prints of Farnham and bird prints for children are available from The Frame Centre in Downing Street, Farnham. A collection of Limited-Edition Orchid Prints is also available. Initially, please go to walshsands.com and then contact me.

Art Tutor

I cover all the major disciplines and a range of subject matter. Apart from sessional teaching, I am more than happy to give workshops and demonstrations to groups and societies.
