The Artist Magazine February 2024 Edição anterior

We start several new series in this issue, including the first of Grahame Booth’s bi-monthly demonstrations showing how to simplify complex subjects in watercolour (starting here with figures), Steve Hall’s four-part series on capturing landscapes in pastel and new contributor Rosso Emerald Crimson’s four-part series on painting creative portraits in oils. There are also plenty of tips on how to use photos more creatively (from Graham Webber), inspirational ideas for incorporating digitally manipulated images to create layered and expressive landscapes (by Robert Dutton), ideas about how to develop your own artistic style (by Andrew Field) as well as an invitation to follow how Jemma Derbyshire approaches her journey into abstraction in mixed media, inspired by the colours and shapes of flowers and gardens.

For artist-readers thinking about taking that next step and keen to learn more about how other professional artists approach the business side of promoting themselves and their work, Sarah Edmonds continues her new, year-long monthly series with suggestions about how to analyse exactly what it is you’re aiming to sell, with her case-study interview with Kate Kelvin, who explains how she balances her working week, and what has been most useful to her in terms of marketing her artwork.
