The Artist | August 2016
Welcome to our August issue in which we focus on pure watercolour painting techniques with Ian Sidaway and David Poxon, sketching and which papers to choose by David Parfitt and Glen Scouller, pigment choices and colour mixing with Soraya French and Julie Collins, and how to achieve the impression of light and shade in your pastel landscapes by Robert Dutton. Oil painters will be inspired by an illuminating insight into Scottish artist Charles Jamieson's approach and working methods, Penny German's advocacy of a daily oil painting, and Adebanji Alade's top tips for improving your techniques. If perspective intimidates you, Jo Quigley explains how to simplify this complex subject and puts her ideas into practice in a street scene demonstration in acrylics. We start a new series in which Ann Witheridge advises on how to improve your figure painting, plus we have features on how to create an imaginative mixed media still life, why you should store your unresolved paintings, how to limit your losses when creating prints, and more!
