David Innis attended St. Martins Art College and went on to study painting at the Royal College of Art 1960-63. Upon graduation he recieved a silver medal for work of special distinction and won further prizes for life painting and life drawing. In painting Innis employed the same technique that was being used by his (slightly older) contemporaries: Leon Kossoff and Frank Auerbach who also studied at St Martins before moving to the R.C.A. Kossoff-student R.C.A.-1953-56. Auerbach-student R.C.A.-1952-55.

Between 1965 and1990 Innis exhibited a total of 58 pictures at the Royal Academy. From 1965-1969 he was living at Borough Green, near Sevenoaks before moving briefly to Deal in Kent. From 1971 his address is for Alkham, near Dover. Artist friend John Sergeant (1937-2010) said of Innis: he was gifted shy and private, and that he had no intention or desire to promote his own work.
