John Forward
John Forward is a watercolour painter, using a loose
and representational style that he considers is best
suited to the natural characteristics of the medium.
As a member of the St. Ives Society of Artists, John
exhibits regularly at the members gallery and
at galleries in Devon and Cornwall. Now aged 50, John
trained as an architect and worked for some years in
Nigeria and Borneo. On
returning to the UK, he decided that he should return
to his first love art - and for the past thirteen
years has been a professional artist. He now lives and
works at Ashwater in Devon and draws inspiration from
the rolling landscape around his smallholding and the
stretch of rugged coastline from Crackington Haven to
Hartland.
His work is highly regarded, and a recent review of
one of his paintings in the American magazine The
Artist described his work as being consistent
with the finest traditions of watercolour in England.
After 10 years of almost full time painting Ive
found that the best way to paint is to let the watercolour
paint itself says John, careful planning
and the courage to go with the flow when
something unexpected happens, simply brings the artwork
alive.
He also hosts painting workshops at Henford Studio
and in Stratford On Avon.
