The Artist  |  August 2014
Welcome to our August issue packed with inspiring articles from top-class artists and tutors, including our cover artist Jeremy Barlow's focus on painting people to add life and interest to your compositions. David Walker talks about his love of light and how this enlivens otherwise unlikely subjects, and we pay tribute to David Prentice, whose work has secured an important place in the tradition of British landscape painting. Haidee-Jo Summers recommends painting quick portrait sketches in watercolour to hone your skills; we also look at wash and textural techniques with Niamh Hanlon and Nick Poullis. Soraya French puts the new Jackson's handmade pastels to the test, and we have an exclusive report on the new Pip Seymour artists' acrylics, endorsed by top professionals. If perspective is an issue for you, Winston Oh's article will help to unravel the complications, and Liz Seward offers some great ideas for mixed-media still lifes. As well as all these great articles, there's also much more to be inspired by in this issue - enjoy!
