Leisure Painter | May-15
Welcome to spring with Leisure Painter. First, we focus on BBC1's The Big Painting Challenge with interviews with judge Lachlan Goudie and contestant Melvyn Flint. Lachlan talks about his painting life and offers advice on how to become a better painter. Melvyn talks about his experiences on the show and how he has developed his style and technique since his TV appearance. This is followed by a glorious celebration of painting in gardens with Pamela Kay. Find out from Pamela how you can make sense of all that colour and detail, and paint your own scenes from sketches and life. We also begin three new series this month. Becky Samuelson goes back to basics with a beginners' guide to watercolour landscapes. Carole Massey begins her tutorials on how to draw and paint children, this month focusing on drawing media. Japanese artist, Takumasa Ono begins a two-part series on painting with ink, using the subtle sumi-e style. There are also plenty of demonstrations to follow in watercolour and acrylic, drawing and painting from photographs, one tutor's mixed-media approach, and learn how to frame and present your work. The perennial question about copyright is also answered.
