Anew year with Leisure Painter inevitably brings with it a major new series of practical tutorials. To begin 2018 I have great pleasure in introducing a year-long look at ‘watercolour basics and beyond’ with David Webb (pages 14 to 17). We begin the series this month with an introduction to materials and your first technique, the flat wash. In the next issue, David covers how and when to stretch your paper, followed throughout the year by a detailed study of painting and sketching in watercolour, all aimed at building your skill set and confidence with this wonderful and unpredictable medium. As always, I hope you have fun with your experiments, and enjoy the process of learning and painting.
This issue is also packed with demonstrations, practical advice and illustrated techniques to help you make the most of your hobby. From first steps in abstraction, making five-minute sketches of animals and trying new approaches to portraiture, to tutorials in popular media and subjects, we aim to fill your painting hours with practical help and inspiration. If you feel we are missing a subject, technique or medium, please let me know.
