The Leisure Painter magazine has a committed readership and the monthly painting project is one of its most popular articles. This book brings together a varied selection of these projects, providing a source of painting ideas for amateur artists. The coverage of subjects in the book is diverse: from landscapes and seascapes to still life, interiors and people. All the main painting media are represented - watercolour, pastels, oils and acrylics - aiming to ensure variety and interest. In addition, the book features a wide range of different styles of painting by many well-known artists, including some HarperCollins authors such as Alwyn Crawshaw, Linda Birch, Ron Ranson, Ann Blockley and Wendy Jelbert.

About this title

About the Author:

The Leisure Painter magazine has a very committed readership of amateur painters, with a circulation of more than 25,000.

From Library Journal:

This entertaining work brings to U.S. audiences a popular monthly column that has run in the British art magazine Leisure Painter since 1967. Twenty-four professional artists offer 26 practical painting projects in watercolor, pastels, oils, and acrylics. Subjects include a Greek scene with acrylics, a traditional cottage garden in mixed media, a Moroccan scene in collage, a Cotswold scene using pen and wash, and a mother and child in oils. Though it is more entertaining, this volume isn't as comprehensive as Simon Jennings's Art Class: A Complete Guide to Painting.
