Following a successful career in graphic design & advertising, Shaun Forward is an urban sketcher, fine art painter & printmaker in Dorset, UK.

An active member of several arts societies, Shaun’s current main focus is leading tutored ‘outdoor sketchbooking workshops’ – bringing the art of Urban Sketching and his passion for sketchbooking, to a wider audience.

Shaun also spends much of his time either in his purpose-built garden studio or preferably, producing work en plein air in the Dorset landscape or along its wonderful Jurassic coastline.
