David Shiers

 

Artist & Graphic Designer

 

David was born in Liverpool in 1945, and enjoyed painting from an early age. Working in various studios and exhibiting widely around the Merseyside area, David, a self-taught artist, turned professional in 2003. The only tuition he received was from attending Liverpool College of Art life drawing classes, on an evening basis over a period of four years.

He paints in watercolours and oils. Since going full time, he spends a lot of time painting on location in The Wirral, Southern France and Spain. His working process is based on a series of Plein Air watercolour sketches and digital photographs, then finally working up to the finished painting.

He was very much inspired by works of the past impressionists, Pissaro, Monet, Cezanne and Sisley. Working as full time artist now gives him time to diversify and experiment with light and nature. His studio is based on The Wirral.
