COLOURS BY AN ARTIST FOR ARTISTS

A collection of watercolours entirely handmade in Italy by Felice Feltracco, a watercolourist constantly looking for the best painting materials. In this site he wishes to share the result of his research, his personal FORÈSTO creations.

'Forèsto is synonym of research, craftsmanship, memories, but above all achievement'

Why the name

Forèsto

'Forèsto is a meaningful word in my everyday life: it reminds me of inaccessible, wild places, which ceaselessly captured my artist's eye. Forèsto is a name full of memories, it's an access road leading to the heart of my beloved town in Veneto. It's also the Venetian word for stranger, foreigner, which I sometimes feel when facing the unpredictability of watercolours. Forèsto is the triumphal splendour of green forests, traversed by light and shadow, a recurring element in my work. Forèsto is the Venice I have inside me.

That's why this is the right word for my colours.'

FORÈSTO WATERCOLOURS

Thanks to the knowledge acquired on the field and the will of maintaining Italian tradition, Felice Feltracco has created Forèsto handmade watercolour pans, based on quality standards. Forèsto watercolours were envisaged from his need to create a superior quality product with high tinting strength, allowing typical watercolour transparency and glazing. He aimed at making first-class colours from first-class raw materials, following traditional Italian artistic knowledge.
