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) In 2015 David served on the jury of selection for the N.W.S. in
Los Angeles.

Over the years he has won many 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 art books world wide.

In 2018 his new 188 page book Watercolour Heart & Soul is published (ISBN 978-
1-9098 13-38-0) 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, finding renewed life between object and environment.
