Spring is finally in the air – at least in the south east of England – where early flowers are proliferating, birdsong can be heard early in the morning, and we are replenishing our field painting kits. We all love this time of year with its promise of longer, warmer days, and brighter conditions for painting.
Leisure Painter heralds the changing of the seasons this month with a plethora of practical and inspirational articles to help you celebrate the season. We begin this month’s features on page 13 with Julie King’s step-by-step, demonstrating how to paint the tulips found on the front cover. With only three colours used, you can concentrate on technique as you practise wet-inwet and wet-on-dry watercolour and how to create form, while becoming more familiar with straightforward colour mixing.
