Neil Forster

published online at Petley Fine Art

Neil holds the magic touch of pastel. Using this medium, he has carved a niche for himself by concentrating on his talent for drawing animals…dogs and horses, in particular. Being a Royal Artist, Neil often has the opportunity to surround himself and draw royal horses and hounds, polo players and Etonians. Working principally in pastel, he captures the innermost character of the creatures we love…from the gleaming sheen of a horse’s coat being ridden by splendidly uniformed officers of the R.H.A in Hyde Park to endearing puppies piled on top of each other…fumbling…taking comfort in each other’s company. Neil’s work brings delight to the eye by emphasizing the charm of day-to-day existence…outstretched women with pink towels wrapped around their heads…nudes bathing in rock-pools…gypsies breaking fast by the campfire.
But out of all his talents, it is Neil’s gift for bringing animals to life through their eyes, from the forlorn look of a puppy to the intense glare of wild mares being rounded up, that sets him apart.
