The Artist Magazine Summer 2012 Retour à l'édition précédente

With the London Olympics in mind we interview an artist who has painted some of the athletes and produced watercolours full of life and movement; we also look at how to paint animals in watercolour, seascapes in acrylics, and with summer here at last there's plenty to inspire the en plein air artist with features on painting on Bodmin Moor, how to paint light effects in oils, painting the picturesque Wye Valley, recording scenes of Granada in watercolour, and how to approach painting outdoors in oils using a pochade. Plus, cover artist Shane Record explains how he captures movement in his landscape paintings. Our colour series continues with a look at how to mix greys, browns and neutrals; we include a test report on Da Vinci brushes, spotlight the Beside the Wave Gallery, Cornwall, and highlight competitions to enter, exhibitions to see, as well as much, much more!
