The iPad is great for receiving and reading your favourite art magazine digitally, but artists are also discovering its benefits as another tool for sketching, as Phyllis Wolff demonstrates in this issue. Plus, we test the specialist Sensu Brush and Stylus, launched specifically for artists' use with their iPads. Of course we also include practical articles on all the usual media and subject matter too: Jake Winkle discusses watercolour techniques; Paul Weaver highlights strategies for painting the figure; Shane Record shows various ways to create a convincing sense of space in your paintings and Paul Talbot Greaves advocates quick still-life studies in acrylics to help develop your skills. We also talk to Peter Brown - Pete the Street - about his latest work, and Matthew Alexander about his plein air oils; we review the Whistler in London exhibition, and include articles on painting on toned grounds, a demonstration of a new watercolour layering technique, working with colour triads, a focus on easels, plus all the latest news, views, reviews and opportunities for artists.
