Commissions are a collaborative creative process.
Some clients come to David with a specific image in mind, others have been inspired by his use of colour and depth.
“Everyone is different. I love the challenge of getting to grips with each person’s unique concept and then expressing it,” says David. “Some people like updates and to see the work in progress, others prefer to give a detailed brief and then say ‘just go for it’.”
Online, or in a gallery, David doesn’t get to see people’s initial reaction to his art. With commissions, that is the most rewarding part. “It’s that thing of watching people’s eyes and seeing them take it all in,” he says. “It’s exciting waiting to see the emotion on their faces.”
