The Artist  |  August 2015
Lights, darks, shadows, atmosphere and colour and how to tackle these in a variety of media are all discussed by many of our professional artists this month. You will be inspired by Douglas Gray's atmospheric landscapes in oil, Jeffery Courtney's discussion about the technical lessons learnt from the Old Masters, Paul Weaver's light-filled watercolours of market scenes, cover artist Lucy Willis's advice on how to paint sunlight and shadows in watercolour and Peter Graham's bright summer London scenes. Catherine Beale demonstrates how to paint lively portraits of children in watercolour; Soraya French suggests an abstract approach to painting colourful flower compositions in mixed media; David Wiseman reveals his spontaneous approach to the landscape using acrylics while Paul Talbot-Greaves offers some in-depth advice on acrylic painting techniques. And if you're looking to give your paintings an inner glow, use burnt sienna, says Robert Dutton. All this and more in a packed August issue, bursting with advice and inspiration!
