Several tutors were important and lasting influences including Robert Medley and Keith Vaughan, the latter becoming a close friend. Selected for the Arts Council Young Contemporaries touring show in 1959 he wrote of his approach to painting ". for when is painting natural? It is a willed effort that I believe must be sustained wholeheartedly and uncompromisingly.". Dubsky was included in the New Generation show at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1966 and 1968.
