The Artist | November 2015
Amongst the myriad tips, advice and practical information designed to help you to improve your drawing and painting, the key messages from many of the artists in this issue, is to simplify what you see, learn from your mistakes, accept your 'failures' and move on, because the next painting you do could become the gem you have been striving for. Be inspired to paint better watercolours by Geoff Hunt, Paul Weaver, David Curtis and Gerald Green. Learn from oil painters Hannah Merson, who advocates the use of a very limited palette, and Tom Hughes who demonstrates an en plein air landscape painting. Pastellists will enjoy the still-life demonstration by Jan Munro, Robert Dutton's report on Unison Soft Pastels, and everyone interested in painting shadows and reflections will find Jenny Halstead's article on the subject illuminating. Take David Parfitt's advice and use your iPad to sketch an atmospheric river scene with the Procreate app, and if you can, visit the Auerbach exhibition at Tate Britain after reading our review by Julian Halsby. Plenty of in-depth articles to help you get the most out of your materials and improve your work this month!
