A restless sky over quiet fields — etched in lines that wander like the wind itself. Trying to hold stillness within motion.

Recent etching — exploring the textures and quiet presence of old stone steps and doorways.
Grateful to Kate Teal for her influence and the inspiration she’s given me in approaching architectural subjects with sensitivity and patience.

Under the New Elevated Subway
Printed in deep red ink, this piece captures the sharp geometry and layered shadows beneath the elevated tracks. I’ve been fascinated by how light cuts through these structures and transforms the street below.

Stairs at the Courtauld, London
Etching inspired by the sweeping staircase and soft light of the Courtauld Gallery. I loved exploring the rhythm of the lines and curves in this space.

Baobab Tree
This one was printed using the reduction technique, carving away the same block in stages for each colour layer. I loved working with the earthy browns against the blue sky — it really brings out the sculptural form of the baobab.

Handmade linocut print — calm sea, distant towers. Playing with layered blues and simple forms to capture the quiet of the coast. #linocut #printmaking #handmadeart #seascape #reductionprint

A textured oil painting of the Radcliffe Camera, Oxford.
I wanted to capture the warmth of the golden stone against a shifting sky, using expressive brushstrokes to echo the energy of the building and its atmosphere.

This piece is all about light, movement, and the drama of architecture.

Wild beauty of the Irish coast — painted in thick oils to capture the rugged cliffs, restless sea, and shifting light.

“Scratched into perspex, ink pressed deep — a fleeting landscape etched with fragile lines. Hay bales and barns held in the softness of drypoint.”

Three years today I completed my very first etching. Alongside my latest etching. It’s a wonderful medium and the drawing process works for me. Please follow my work and become a friend. #printmakingprocess #ContemporaryRealism #davidwellerart

First stage of a new print run.
Laying down the sky and sea gradients — each sheet picks up the ink a little differently, so I get a range of moods right from the start. Excited to see how these develop as the layers build up!

Experimenting with lilies in a glass jar — focusing on contrast between cool flowers and a warm background. Really enjoyed playing with light and texture in this one.

Playing with light and shadow in these two little oil landscapes. Do you feel more drawn to the stormy coast or the rugged mountains?

Wittenham Clumps — an Oxfordshire landmark painted many times by Paul Nash, who called them his 'spiritual home! He saw them as timeless, mythical forms in the landscape. My linocut follows in that tradition.

Hand-carved linocut, 20 × 30 cm, printed in a limited edition of just 6 finished copies.
This piece captures the atmosphere of a narrow, old street leading towards a towering spire — rich in texture, shadow, and light.
