Leisure Painter & The Artist | Jan-22
Add festive sparkle to your paintings this month! Enjoy producing your own version of Valérie Pirlot’s gorgeous Christmas tree baubles, and personalise your own snow globes, with watercolourist, Hazel Jarvis. Both projects will make beautiful greetings cards or the perfect gift for a loved one who has everything. David Bellamy offers a host of tips and techniques for capturing landscapes in vignette, and Dr Susan Poole introduces you to the joys of painting animals using luminous egg tempera. For the absolute beginner, we start our 12-month back-to-basics series: ‘Beginner’s watercolour’ and ‘Let’s draw!’ For those of you with more experience and ready to take your artwork to the next level, Brian Smith begins his monthly ‘Explore watercolour’ articles with a look at developing a freer mindset when painting. This month’s issue is filled with creative ideas, tips and techniques, projects and more for all beginners and amateur painters to enjoy.
