Leisure Painter | Oct-15
Welcome to the October issue of Leisure Painter. You'll find within these pages practical tuition, inspiration and hints and tips from some of the most experienced and popular tutors in watercolour, oil, pastel, acrylic and a variety of drawing media. There are articles and tutorials on painting flowers and trees, landscapes and skies, self-portraits and animals. If you want to try something different, why not pick up an airbrush this month or start painting your own greetings cards? You will also find at the back of this issue, your free 24-page guide to some of the best art courses and holidays around the world. The guide also includes an article by oil painter, Paul Brown, on painting in Venice, and by artist, Amanda Cooper, on her travels to Myanmar (and the sketchbooks she kept there). We hope the following 92 pages prove inspiring, practical and fun for you.
