David Paskett, Past President of The Royal Watercolour Society, is recognised as one of Britain’s leading watercolour painters. His work is in many international private and public collections including the Royal Collection of HM The Queen. He is a frequent exhibitor at London’s Bankside Gallery, home of The Royal Watercolour Society.   In 2015 a retrospective show of his work was held in The Hong Kong Club.

大衛．帕斯科特，曾任英國皇家水彩協會之理事長，為當今公認英國頂尖水彩畫家之一。他的作品陳列於諸多私人及公共典藏之中，其中包括英國女王皇家典藏。他也常在英國皇家水彩協會的所在地——英國倫敦班克賽藝廊舉辦展覽。2015年於香港會辦有其作品之回顧展。

David lived and painted in Hong Kong  1986-1990 .   Since his first trip to China in 1986 David has returned regularly sourcing new material for his watercolours and oils. His personal and detailed observations portray the rich contrasts of everyday life on the streets, in markets and on waterways in town and country. They  present  a powerful collection of images of China whilst also standing as an archive documenting thirty years of change.

大衛於1986~1990期間旅居香港並於此創作。自從1986年踏上中國之後，大衛便經常回訪，為他的水彩畫與油畫尋找新題材。他以個人細膩之觀察，描繪出日常生活中街頭上、市場中以及城鎮裡水道的豐富對比。其畫作呈現出鮮明的中國意象，也成就了這三十年來變化歷程之影像紀錄。

David has gained  respect amongst Chinese painters for his original and sympathetic images of their country. In recent years he has participated as guest exhibitor, lecturer and judge at major Chinese international watercolour festivals and competitions at art academies and museums in Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Lanzhou, Naning, Zhujiajiao, Qingdao, Shenyang,Shandong and Lushan.

因為其關於中國之獨到且同理心十足的影像創作，大衛廣受中國畫家之敬重。近年來他常常受邀為中國學界與美術館所舉辦的重大國際水彩活動與賽事之參展藝術家、講師及評審，其足跡遍及上海、北京、杭州、重慶、蘭州、南寧、朱家角、青島、瀋陽、山東及廬山。
