The Artist | July 2014
Dramatic skies, capturing a likeness in pastel, how to mix successful greens for summer landscapes, how to avoid overworked watercolours, why you should keep a sketchbook, and the importance of recognising and painting the negative spaces, are just some of the practical issues addressed by John Stillman, Glenys Ambrus, Robert Dutton, Judi Whitton, Moira Huntly, and Hazel Soan in this issue. We include demonstrations of an elephant in graphite pencil, by Jamie Boots, and an acrylic composition by Kristian Evju's, plus we reveal the stories behind Kevin Day's powerful narrative oil paintings. We also bring you an interview with a relatively undiscovered but highly rated printmaker, Annie Giles Hobbs, helpful tips about how to photograph your work successfully, and an article brimming with enthusiasm from cover artist Shirley Trevena on a new-found set of watercolours that have inspired her recent compositions. You won't be short of ideas for your work, and things to do this month!
