The Artist | January 2017
Welcome to the first issue of the new year, brimming with inspiration and ideas to help you to develop your drawing and painting, and in which Paul Talbot-Greaves provides some timely advice on how to beat the dreaded artists' block and revitalise your creativity. We include plenty of hints and tips on aspects of watercolour painting from Ian Sidaway, Julie Collins and Terry Jarvis; pastellists will love Richard Suckling's advice on how to create pastel landscapes glowing with colour and light, whilst Wendy Jacob shows how to use the much-neglected medium of gouache to produce compelling still lifes. Oil painters will learn how to use a palette knife effectively from our interview with top professional artist Ben Taffinder, and how to achieve atmospheric rain-soaked cityscapes by following Mike Barr's demonstration. With additional articles on painting narratives, using marker pens and Derwent's new Graphite and Charcoal blocks, how to make a start on a new painting, and much more, you won't be short of fresh ideas to inspire your work over the coming months!
