Forbes Ridland

My researches last year have led me towards more atmospheric paintings and I am exploring ambient conditions without losing all my interest in realism.

Forbes embarked on an apprenticeship as an artist when he retired aged 66. He graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art in 2015 and continues his parallel studies at the Academy of Realist Art. He divided his time equally between Pittenweem and Edinburgh and exhibited at the Arts Festival last year. His main interest at present is in Academic Paintings and local scenes around the East Neuk.
