David Gould: How I paint trees. Why I paint trees" A David Gould Documentary for CASW

David Gould In this short film, commissioned by CASW and made by David Brook, we are introduced to the painter David Gould at work as he paints a tree and describes his processes in the early morning light of a Cardiff park. Gould shares his passion for landscape painting and the joy he has when working outdoors. He explains his simple and direct method of operating. We see him at work en plein air, using re-purposed firework sticks and inexpensive brushes to combine drawing and painting. Gould's narrative is most engaging; he prefers bright to overcast light, employs a grid system for blocking in colours, uses simple glazes and relies on a rudimentary kit of sturdy fisherman's rucksack stool and easily assembled drawing boards. Italy is where Gould first started painting landscapes; he reports a “Damascene moment of recognition and response ... which struck a deep chord inside me”. He returns to Italy regularly to paint. Expansive or panoramic subjects are often captured from a high viewpoint and he also paints the South Wales valleys from similar high positions.
