About this artwork
This scene of sunlight through snow covered pines was encountered whilst snow-shoeing in central France. The light, and the exceptional beauty of the colours that its icy refraction caused ,were irresistible. For an even richer, almost tactile, set of colours, I ground pastel pigments as a foundation, glued to the paper with watercolour medium. Over this rough base, I then worked with watercolour and gouache to detail the scene. The rather unfamiliar… drapery of snow and ice ended up looking rather surreal and otherworldly, though none the worse for the fact.
David Forster is a self-taught painter celebrated for his masterful command of watercolour, often blending ground soft pastels with innovative techniques. He orchestrates a “resolution of chaos,” combining gestural splashes, broad-brush classicism, collage-inspired compositions, and vibrant colour contrasts to explore romantic, layered landscapes shaped by human presence and natural history. His evocative works dwell on the poetry of overlooked ruins and tangled forests, weaving stories that vibrate between abstraction and reality. Forster’s paintings invite viewers to experience both the fleeting essence and profound mystery of place, resonating with nostalgia, wonder, and longing. He is an elected member of the following societies: the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW), the Society of Scottish Artists, (SSA), and le Société Française de l'Aquarelle (SFA).
