This is how a new work begins. Take a picture, edit it and then draw it onto the Lino plate. I’ve already done a few backgrounds and next will be cutting out. #davidwellerart #linoprint #oxford #buyart

“I know thee not, old man.” Up to that point, Falstaff has built his whole world on the idea that Hal’s affection will lift him higher — that beneath their jesting there’s genuine love. When that illusion shatters, he’s left with a painful mixture of pride, disbelief, and dawning self-awareness.

A restless sky over quiet fields — etched in lines that wander like the wind itself. Trying to hold stillness within motion. This original etching is available for sale — message me if you’re interested.” #etching #printmaking #landscapeart #intaglio #artistsoninstagram #printmakersofinstagram

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. #etching #printmaking #artistprint #blackandwhiteart #kateTeal

Leaf movement one.

That time of year when nature and I collide.

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. #linocut #printmaking #reliefprint #urbanlandscape #cityart

Drypoint etching of Morrissey, printed in a small edition. Experimenting with texture and stage lighting through linework.

Student me. 1992.

Option 2 – Artistic & Thoughtful Playing with colour, form, and the quiet order in fallen leaves. #LandArt #AutumnVibes #FoundArt

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. #etching #printmaking #courtauld #londonart #architectureart #intaglio #artwork #artistprint

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. #reductionlinocut #linocut #printmaking #reliefprint

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. #IrishCoast #OilPainting #SeascapeArt #TexturedPainting #CoastalArt #ArtCollectors #PainterLife

“Scratched into perspex, ink pressed deep — a fleeting landscape etched with fragile lines. Hay bales and barns held in the softness of drypoint.” Hashtags: #Drypoint #PerspexPlate #IntaglioPrint #PrintmakersOfInstagram #EtchingOnPerspex #MonochromeArt #HandPulledPrint #ContemporaryPrintmaking

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! #linoprint #printmakingprocess #reductionprint #wip #oceanart

Still life study in oils — exploring color relationships and light effects. #StillLifePainting #OilOnCanvas #ContemporaryRealism #ArtProcess #PaintingStudy

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. #stilllife #oilpainting #flowers #lilies #artprocess

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

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.

The three stage progression of a reduction Lino print. The blue gradient of layers work to recess the image. Please follow me and enjoy the work. There are only six copies of this print.

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. #linocut #printmaking #limitededition #collectableart #reliefprint

Two stages of my linocut print This piece is inspired by Victorian slum streets — narrow alleys, crooked houses, and looming spires in the distance. I love how the layers build atmosphere, from shadowy depth to the gritty details of cobblestones and crumbling facades.

The first two stages of a new linocut print — this street scene will soon take shape in layered shades of blue. From the first cuts to the first pull, the atmosphere is already emerging. #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint #printmaking #handpulledprint

Nationalism” Linocut print A man paints a George Cross on a roundabout — as if this simple act could reclaim a country. The futility and absurdity of the gesture mirror the empty theatre of nationalism itself: loud symbols, fragile meaning.

Carved light, pressed into darkness. Lino printing leaves its own kind of silence — the marks you take away are as important as the ones you leave behind. Ink settles on the surface, paper drinks it in. #shadowandlight #markmaking #carvedsilence #inkandpaper #printedpoetry

Ten years later I still have the painting, but not the hair! #davidwellerart #

“New York streets in black and white. A lino print exploring the angles, shadows, and rhythm of the elevated tracks above the city.”#NewYorkArt #CityscapeArt #UrbanArt #ArchitectureArt #CityVibes

Unfinished London Still working on this piece, but I love how the Thames reflections are starting to come alive. The palette knife textures really capture the light and movement of the city at dusk. #davidwellerart #LondonArt #CityscapePainting #ImpressionistArt #ArtistAtWork #WIP

Mokulito Plate ✨ Here’s the plate I made for a mokulito print. Mokulito (wood lithography) uses a wood surface to carry both drawn marks and the natural grain of the wood. #mokulito #printmaking #woodlithography #artistprocess #printmakersofinstagram

I kinda like birds. #birds #davidwellerart #etching

New print! This is my woodblock print of Wittenham Clumps, inspired by the rolling hills and the iconic trees on the summit. I wanted to capture the calm rhythm of the landscape with flowing carved lines and a single blue tone. #woodblockprint #printmaking #wittenhamclumps #landscapeart #reliefprint

Here are the first two stages of my reduction linocut: 1️⃣ The first layer is a flat block of blue ink, creating the base. 2️⃣ After carving into the lino, I’ve printed again to reveal white detail where the paper now shows through, while the uncut areas are still blue.

Today I’ve hung three small landscapes on my wall. All these oil paintings are for sale and if you have any interest in any of them please contact me. #EmotiveArt #paintings #davidwellerart #art

Winter Trees” – one of five colour variations in this new print series. Exploring how atmosphere shifts with colour, I’ve printed this image in different palettes #printmaking #linocut #reliefprint #monochromeart #treesofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #seasonalart #blackandwhiteart

Harvest Time Again” Drypoint print A quiet moment after the fields are worked — bales resting, lines drawn in earth and sky. #drypointprint #printmakersofinstagram #harvesttime #landscapeprint #rurallandscape #intaglioprint #contemporaryprintmaking

I painted this in a moment of raw reflection — not for beauty, but for honesty. The brush didn’t hesitate, and neither did the face. Expressionist chaos, oil and instinct. What do you see in it? #ExpressionistArt #RawPortraiture #ImpastoPainting #ContemporaryFigurativeArt #EmotiveArt

Johnny Marr — linocut print. A tribute to the jangly genius behind The Smiths. Hand-carved, inked, and printed in true DIY spirit. There’s more to life than books, you know… but not much more. #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint #printmaking #handmadeprint #johnnymarr #thesmiths #musicart #britishmusic
