The Artist  |  April 2013
Welcome to our April issue, with the usual blend of practical and inspirational features by artists, for artists, covering a myriad of subject matter and media. For watercolourists we focus on people, places, how to improve your compositions and Philip Rundall offers ideas on how to work through periods of the dreaded creative block. Tom Benjamin takes his oil paints outside; we start a new four-part series on pastel painting featuring members of the Pastel Society, while we also road test the new Derwent Fine Art XL Charcoal and Graphite Blocks. Cover artist Ian Sidaway shows why gesso is such an ideal ground for watercolour paintings, and Liz Seward demonstrates her approach to landscape painting in acrylics. With ideas on how to promote your work, paint during the night, and exploit colour triads, there's something to inspire everyone! Enjoy!
