January issues of Leisure Painter and The Artist are out now. Don’t forget that there will be 13 issues during 2011, meaning you can save £13 with an annual subscription, and even more over 2 or 3 years! Plus there is still time to order a subscription as a year long Christmas gift for family or friends. In our Top Tens of the Month you can see areas of the site most visited during November, including the most looked at gallery images, the most watched videos and the most read features, blogs and forum threads. Our latest e-newsletter went out on November 30th, full of special offers, exclusive features and the opportunity to vote for a people’s choice from a selection of images chosen from the gallery during 2010. Just send me an email if you missed your copy and would like to see one. Have a look at the paintings sent in response to our e-newsletter painting challenge too. Hopefully the snow is not causing any of you too much trouble. I recommend staying indoors and reading Leisure Painter or The Artist for some great, practical painting tips and demonstrations! Or why not think about entering the 2011 Patchings Open Art Competition, details are available on the website and in the January magazines.
