"Small Sepia" Renderings | 2024
In this gallery, I strive to bring together the past and the present, creating a compelling contrast that draws in the viewer. Sepia-toned backgrounds are used to frame singular narratives by capturing the beauty of human innocence. Each watercolour tells a story and offers a glimpse into a different world.
Acrylics | 2024
(on gallery wrapped canvas)
My style of acrylic painting is versatile and dynamic, able to capture the surreal in portraits and landscapes alike. I use bold brushstrokes and vivid colours to create artwork that stands out and leaves an impression.
Gouache & Atypical Watercolours | 2024
Less use of transparency is employed than traditional watercolour. A more opaque style leans toward illustration. As always, a buried narrative accompanies these pieces.
Mixed Media | 2024
Memento Mori, features medieval depictions of death, and is showcased through four mixed media images.

PAST ARTWORKS
In the Bright and Bleak series, India ink and gouache are layered over watercolour paper (then washed) to create "resist paintings". From the rich colours and intricate details of Byzantine mosaic pieces to the unappetizing charm of chip stand fly-strips wafting above the grill, each theme covers a wide spectrum and is a unique reflection of a creative vision. Explore this series and discover the distinctive world of davidcolvinart.
