David Oatley

Watercolour artist, born 1950 and educated Wells Cathedral School, developed a love of painting and drawing. Worked in the construction industry for forty years which prevented much art activity and inspiration, now retired through ill health, he can spend and enjoy much of his time painting.

Watercolour as a medium is very popular but to some may be associated with Victorian ladies who painted with light brushstrokes and pastel colours. I create watercolour paintings which are very different, they have a freshness and intensity which tend to be associated with oils or acrylic paints. Producing paintings which are not only accurate to detail but also strong on colour.

Based in the heart of the Cotswolds which provide his inspiration. I paint local towns and village scenes as well as landscapes.

Having worked for many years in the building Industry I have an affinity with architecture, taking special enjoyment from my work when painting town and village scenes.

I am always available for commissions at very reasonable costs. Why not have a portrait of your home, office, garden or any particular scene you choose.
