The Artist | September 2013
Welcome to our September issue in which oil painters will be inspired by Molly Schmid's fabulous portrait demonstration explaining the transparent monochrome technique, and Rowan Crew's insights into his approach to painting trees and landscapes en plein air. Haidee-Jo Summers also takes us outside to paint seascapes in oils. Watercolourists will enjoy Jake Winkle's advice on how to simplify complex subjects, Nick Poullis' tips on composition, and Barry Herniman's demonstration of a river scene, whilst Ian Sidaway visits the allotment to paint unusual subject matter. Don't miss Glyn Macey's demonstration of a painting of a Cornish scene in the style of Dame Laura Knight, Max Hale's report on the working characteristics and advantages of Daler-Rowney's heavy body acrylics, or Pastel Society president Cheryl Culver's revelations about her approach to her pastel paintings. If your preference is to stay indoors, Paul Riley shows how to tackle interior scenes and perspective, and Soraya French suggests experimenting with another triad of colours in her popular monthly series. As ever, we offer a variety of practical features to inform and inspire all artists, whatever your medium or subject matter, as well as a round up of competitions to enter, exhibitions to see, workshops and events to get involved in. Don't miss out!
