Leisure Painter | July 2024
Packed with demonstrations, exercises and projects to encourage and inspire you to pick up your brushes, whether you’re sitting at your kitchen table or stepping outside your front door to paint. From top tips for adding atmosphere to your landscapes by David Bellamy, to a colourful and stylised portrait in acrylics and a flower study in watercolour, there’s something to help everyone develop their skills and confidence. Our cover artist, Liz Chaderton, also begins a new series to demonstrate how a variety of media can be added to watercolour, to wonderful effect, while Rachel McNaughton shows the creation of a subtle sunset in soft pastel and Veronica Winters illustrates just how versatile working with coloured pencils can be for the amateur artist. Spring themes, summer trees, insects and colourful tropical birds are all covered within these pages. Enjoy another month of developing your skills and producing a variety of different paintings, either by following expert step-by-step demonstrations or working on your own from the photographs Leisure Painter provides
