The Artist | July 2013
How to paint light in watercolour is tackled this month by Cecil Rice, who demonstrates the sparkling effects you can achieve in this wonderful medium. Paul Talbot-Greaves continues his series on how to improve your watercolour painting with a focus on colour and colour mixing, while David Curtis uses an en plein air sketch as the basis for a studio watercolour demonstration. We also bring you reports on the new Caran d'Ache Museum Aquarelle water-soluble pencils, and Daler-Rowney's Georgian oils, whilst bird lovers will enjoy Mike Warren's demonstrations of sketches made in situ, leading to a finished painting. Moorland landscapes in acrylics, how to use alkyd mediums to best effect, how to draw difficult objects and advice on working with a triad of earth colours are also practical features designed to inspire you in this issue. Plus, gain valuable insights into the working practices of award-winning professional artists Angela Findlay, Rachel Ross and current affairs illustrator George Butler. And don't miss out on the UK's best art and design festival in June - full details can be found on pages 58-59!
