“The most inspirational, art soul-enhancing experience.”

"The course I took with you David at the wonderful @coombefarmstudios was the most inspirational, art soul enhancing week and I would say to anyone if you are looking to advance your abstract painting practice don’t hesitate to take this online course - you will be challenged and changed in all the best ways 🙌👌"

“David Mankin is one of the most compelling abstract painters of his generation.
”

“...creating works of intensity and depth inspired by the Cornish landscape. His paintings carry an emotional weight and instil a visceral response - each painting evoking real feelings rather than a casual observation. Through his unique language of paint, he captures the wilds of Cornwall, distilling its essence into something profoundly human. The resultant body of work forms a lasting connection in all who encounter it and I believe his standing in the art world will continue to soar amongst his many collectors around the world’ ”
