DAVID WEBB - PROFESSIONAL ARTIST AND AUTHOR

BIOGRAPHY

David Webb is a professional artist and author of 'Still Life in Watercolour', which has been published in several languages. He has also made a video/DVD of the same title. Born in East London, David started his working life as an illustrator but now runs his own watercolour workshops and painting breaks.

As a tutor he strongly believes that everyone can be taught to paint, as long as they are keen. Demonstrations form a major part of his teaching methods, ‘There’s nothing like watching an artist show you how a technique is achieved’. Step-by-step exercises are also a feature of his courses.

Dave paints a variety of subjects, in watercolour and acrylic. Originally starting out as an illustrator of natural history publications, he now paints in a much looser style. Animals remain a favourite subject matter for him, however, his courses and workshops cover a range of subject matter including landscape/seascape and still life.
