“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.
Chris Forsey has been an illustrator and artist for nearly all of his working life, with his studio based 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.
