Renowned figurative artist ‘Pete the Street’ Brown kickstarts the practical features in this issue with an inspiring insight into the trials, tribulations and passions of the committed en-plein-air painter. After absorbing Pete’s observations and as we look forward to the better weather of spring, be inspired too by Grahame Booth and Paul Talbot-Greaves as they demonstrate ways to capture the light and colours of springtime landscapes in watercolour, whilst Hilary Page advises on the colour of shadows and how to capture them successfully in watercolour. Elsewhere in this issue our contributing artists focus on how to improve your sketching techniques, draw self-portraits, as well as demonstrating different approaches for painting portraits, London’s iconic bridges, trees and a pub interior scene, in various media including oils, acrylics, ink and Inktense pencils. Later on we round up the issue with some helpful advice from Sarah Edmonds on how to feel comfortable about monetising your art practice.
