The Artist | September 2014
Our interviews with top professional artists in this issue reveal how Caroline Deane is influenced by Daoist philosophy in her painting practice, while portraitist Stuart Howitt explains how he combines observation and instinct to produce his incredible likenesses. Our practical articles offer inspiration and advice on a range of subjects and media, including how to use a painting knife for textural landscapes, how to bring your wildlife subjects to life in watercolour by Jake Winkle, colour-mixing ideas from Paul Talbot-Greaves and Mary Herbert, test reports revealing the advantages of water-mixable oils (Soraya French) and the new Derwent Graphik pens (Ian Sidaway), and an upbeat feature on how to stay motivated when inspiration flags from Haidee-Jo Summers. We also showcase the winning works from our recent open competition, whilst Geoff Hunt continues his popular watercolour diary with a return to the riverside. Sally Martin demonstrates an impressive equine composition, plus we bring you all the usual news, views, reviews, exhibitions to see, competitions to enter and things to do this month!
