Chris Forsey

Chris is known for his paintings of landscapes, coastal villages and architectural subjects. He endeavours to capture the light, atmosphere and essence of a subject rather than paint purely a representation and leaves plenty for the viewer to speculate on. He works fast and spontaneously after much planning, to produce work in an expressive and impressionistic style. He is exhilarated by colour and surface and enjoys creating textured layers of dry-brushed colour that allow hints of complementary hue to glow through, thus creating an exciting surface of scattered, broken colour. His lively and informative demonstrations are in acrylic and mixed-media on paper using brush, card, fingernail and finger, roller and rag to apply the paint.
Chris was elected a member of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours (the RI) in 2010.  He is also a member of The Society of Graphic Fine Art.
