David Poxon RI NWS (England)

David Poxon was born in the Industrial heartland of England, but now makes his home in the rural countryside of Shropshire, U.K.
He is an elected member of the prestigious R.I. (The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours) and has served on the R.I. Council. He is also a signature member of N.W.S (The National watercolour society of America.
Over the years he has won many International awards and accolades for the precision and craftsmanship of his paintings. He is the author of two books on drawing techniques, and has contributed many articles to the Art Magazine press, and has appeared in numerous International art books. He is recognised and respected as a genuine Master of the water colour medium and tutors workshops worldwide. His new 188-page book Watercolour Heart & Soul is now published and has become a best seller. He is highly regarded as a skilful Master artist, Curator, and International art Judge. He has organised many group and solo shows, including the International Watercolour Masters Exhibitions which now have a worldwide reputation for their superb organisation and masterful presentation.

Painting in pure watercolour medium he uses a painstaking multi glazing technique, with sometimes up to 20 layers of transparent paint, each in turn delicately modulating the colours beneath. There is no white paint used at all in any of his works preferring instead to preserve areas of the natural paper, his paintings can take many weeks in the making. A recurring theme in his work is the reclamation by nature of that which man has created and abandoned. David exhibits in fine art galleries world-wide.
