The Artist Magazine June 2014 Zurück Ausgabe

Welcome to our June issue which has a distinctly Scottish flavour in our first two articles featuring George Devlin on how he paints his vibrantly colourful compositions, and Crawfurd Adamson, who provides a unique insight into his large-scale figure paintings in pastel. Watercolourists will be inspired by our practical features by Hazel Soan on effective brushwork for speedy results, and from Lucy Willis on the benefits of working on a small scale, as well as Geoff Hunt's diary relating his adoption of the 'David Howell' method. Popular US figurative artist Molly Schmid demonstrates a still life in oils, award-winning Kristian Evju shows how he builds imaginative, detailed drawings from collages of found images, Rob Wareing demonstrates how to capture a likeness in pastel, and leading Pastel Society artists offer their 30 top tips for successful pastel painting. Acrylic painters Rob Dutton and Paul Talbot-Greaves offer advice on dealing effectively with complex foregrounds, and how to create more expressive landscape compositions, plus Shane Record talks about how to use digital technology to help promote your work. It's a variety packed issue, with plenty to inspire new ideas and new techniques this month!
