The Artist Magazine July 2012 Edizione posteriore

This month we discover the motivations and methods behind the work of successful professional artists David Prentice, David Paul Gleeson, and abstract painter and sculptor Carolyne Kardia, whilst Kate Lynch discusses her work as a documentary artist. Practical features include: advice on the use of black, and how to mix your darks, how to approach watercolour portraits, paint flowers in watercolour, draw using erasers, achieve distance in your landscapes, and choose the best apps for drawing and painting on your iPhone or iPad. Our artist tests MaimeriBlu watercolours; we spotlight the National Open Art Competition, Society of Floral Painters and discuss Duncan Grant's famous The Tub, on show in the Picasso & Modern British Art exhibition at Tate Britain. With all the usual hints, tips and information required by artists passionate about their work, you simply can't afford to miss this issue!
