Welcome
from the editor
aving read David Bellamy’s lively
H account of his experiments with
the new Sm tubes of Daniel smith
watercolours (pages 13 to 15), I've come to realise that even the most
experienced painter, with a lifetime of practice behind him, can still
be enthused by his chosen medium. If you feel yourself becoming
jaded by the all-too familiar, why not try a new brand, a new colour,
or even a new medium. It’s not as difficult as you might think, as
Martin Kinnear makes clear in his new four-part beginners’ oil series
(pages 43 to 46). From choosing a familiar or limited palette to
ignoring all the jargon and myths associated with oil painting,
Martin’s down-to-earth advice and expertise will have you wielding
your paintbrush with confidence. You only need five oil colours and
a basic kit to work through the exercises he sets over the coming
months. If you choose to follow this series, please write and let me
know how you get on,
Renowned pastel tutor, Heather Gail Harman, offers more myth-
busting advice this month (pages 22 to 25). Out of a wealth of
straightforward instruction, she discusses when and how to fix your
pastel, and the value of knowing when to blend and when to keep
texture in your paintings. Even if pastels aren’t your chosen medium,
there's lots of advice here for all painters. Finally, who said grey was.
boring? Certainly not an artist! In the penultimate article in Steve
Strode’s colour series (pages 28 to 30) you'll appreciate just how
exciting mixing and using grey really is, Toss the ready mixed grey
‘out of your paintbox this month and start to look closely at what
makes up this fascinating colour; it'll take your work to the next
level, guaranteed.
It’s time to enter our annual Christmas greetings competition (page
6). Your favourite charity will be the recipient of a £200 donation
from Leisure Painter if your painting in chosen so let's see those
Christmas card scenes in the coming weeks.
