The Artist  |  September 2016
Welcome to a special 76-page issue showcasing some of this year's winners in our open competition and exhibition, with inspirational words from the artists and judges. Watercolourists will love the articles on how to improve your portraits and figures, choose the right brushes for your work, lift-off techniques and how to create an impact with grey skies, while oil painters will be inspired by Geoff Hunt's revelations about a recent large marine commission and our test report on Jackson's Artist Oils. We also find out the motivations behind Rachel Fenner's semi-abstract landscapes, David Hockney's recent portraits and well-known illustrator George Butler's choices of sketching materials for his important reportage work. Plus, Haidee-Jo Summers discusses how to recognise when to put down your paintbrush, Jo Quigley demonstrates how to add figures to a compostition, Paul Riley focuses on how to create a balanced composition, Soraya French and Julie Collins offer different ideas about colour and colour mixing and Robert Dutton encourages artists to used oil pastels in mixed media landscapes for dramatic effect. Enjoy!
