About Me

chris_forsey_2_3_of_4_

I have been an illustrator and artist for nearly all my working life and I live and have my studio in Dorking, Surrey. I am mostly interested in landscape, townscape and coastal subjects and also Still Life. The close proximity of The North Downs to my home and studio constantly inspires me and I paint and sketch this fine landscape regularly.

My main preoccupation is with atmosphere, light and weather, and I endeavour to capture the fleeting changes and how it affects the scene before me. I prefer to work in the studio from location sketches and photographs, mostly in water-based media.

I was elected a member of The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours in 2010 and also a member of The Society of Graphic Fine Artists.
