The Artist Magazine March 2021 Edizione posteriore

With more lockdown rules restricting our daily lives, escape into the creative world of The Artist and enjoy developing your drawing and painting skills with this month's inspirational contributing artists. Let your imagination soar as you think of ideas for an innovative still life in watercolour with Paul Riley, practise revealing the negative shapes to add light to your paintings with Jake Winkle, include animals to bring life and joy, or even whimsy to your compositions with Steve Griggs, or why not try painting on a textured ground to add interest to your watercolour landscapes with Barry Herniman? Robert Brindley advocates painting in gouache on a textured ground for similar reasons. We also include features on how to paint your sitter's clothing to enhance a portrait, how to loosen up, subtractive drawing techniques to practise, the best channels to use to promote your work online, and much more. Plus, enter our monthly online challenges to help us celebrate our 90th anniversary year and win a valuable prize - see page 7 for full details. Plenty of ideas in this month's issue to keep your creativity flowing over the coming weeks and months!
