David Savellano is an artist who works primarily en plein air (outdoors), creating watercolor paintings that capture random moments on the street, in nature, and wherever else his portable easel takes him. "I enjoy working outdoors because it's unpredictable and lends itself to a kind of spontaneity you just can't get in a studio," he says.

Painting outdoors, especially in the urban settings he favors, requires adaptability and above all speed. Usually the elements are a factor, like the changing light (or more dramatically, the onset of a thunderstorm); and the most alluring subjects/scenarios are often fleeting or temporary at best.
David lives in the Bay Area and is a native Californian, which is reflected in the sun-dappled streets and waterfront imagery that dominate his work. Although largely self-taught as a watercolor painter, he credits his 30 years as a practicing architect with having given him the drawing skills and strong sense of perspective that have elevated his artwork to a professional level. He has earned signature membership in the National Watercolor Society (NWS) and the California Watercolor Association (CWA).
