David Payne

Artist and Tutor

Hello, I’m David, and I run art classes at my Altona Beach Studio.

I have lived in Hobsons Bay for over 30 years, first in Williamstown, and now in the peaceful hidden gem of Altona.

Joining art groups provides a great sense of community, support for the arts, and other shared interests.

My art journey began in the year 2000 whilst working in Manchester England. I combined my old love of driving all over the UK, with my new love of discovering art classes in every small village and town from Land’s End in Cornwall to John O’Groats in the Highlands of Scotland.

Some of the workshops I have attended in Australia and internationally include:

• Watercolour – UK - Ron Ranson, Trevour Waugh, Elda Abramson,

• Australia – Malcolm Beattie, Robert Wade, Joseph Zbucvic, Alvaro Castegnet,

• Herman Pekel, Amanada Hyatt, David Taylor, Greg Allen.

• Oils – Scott Burdick and Susan Lyon (USA) , Warwick Fuller, John Wilson, Kasey Sealey,

• Michael John Angel –Angel Art Academy (Florence)

• Pastels – Margaret Evans (Scotland)

• Acrylics – Mignon Parker.

• Charcoal – Nicholas Beer – Sarum Art Academy Salisbury UK
