The Artist magazine is written by artists, for artists. ‘It’s been inspiring and helping to develop the knowledge and skills of practising artists, from amateur to professional, since its launch in 1931,’ said editor Sally Bulgin.
Every issue features insights into the working practices of top professional artists, test reports on new materials, articles demonstrating traditional, and new techniques to try, and covers subject matter of interest to artists, including landscape, portraiture, still life, urbanscapes, seascapes, the figure and flowers. ‘All the most popular subjects that capture the imagination of today’s artists,’ said Sally. ‘We also include articles on the business side of how to make a living from your art, and cover the latest news and information on open competitions to enter, exhibitions to see, books to read, as well as art courses and holidays to help your artistic development.’
The majority of The Artist’s readers are over 45 and at a point in their lives when they have more time to dedicate to their passion for drawing and painting.
