Leisure Painter & The Artist Magazine March 2025 Vorige editie

Welcome to the first merged issue of Leisure Painter & The Artist. Explore these 132 pages to find a wealth of step-by-step demos, exercises, tips and techniques, interviews and inspiration for all levels of artists. We kick off with a feature on sketching in Transylvania by renowned artist and adventurer, David Bellamy, before showing a variety of subjects to draw and paint: a woodland scene, buildings, seascapes, garden scenes, wildlife, and this month’s cover image of flamingos in the snow. Develop your skills using concertina sketchbooks (and discover how to make your own), work with painting knives and acrylics, and find inspiration for painting at home in the cold weather.

Packed with information and projects to try, including how to work creatively from photographs, find a sketchbook routine, and paint outdoors in winter. For those who prefer to stay in the warm, follow an interior scene using water-soluble oils, read about Pre-Raphaelite artist, Jane Morris, and be inspired by a host of interviews and practical features by professional artists. Whether you’re an amateur painter, looking for help in developing technique and confidence, or a seasoned professional, wanting to hone your skills and find inspiration, we have you covered.
