New ideas
There are signs that the market for the styles of pictures that we all draw and paint is becoming saturated. Our club sold fewer last year than ever before. I note that makers of calendars are increasingly turning from their normal to using heritage railway and seaside posters, presumably for similar reasons. When I wanted to try making posters instead of straight drawings or watercolours it was not as simple as I had predicted. Apart from using gouache, the issues of more hard edges, simplicity and adding ‘warmth’ I found difficult to master. I can find no textbooks on the subject.
Can any of your contributors or readers suggest how I can find guidance, please?
