What's in this Issue?
The June issue - Inside this edition you’ll find a special focus on painting animals. You can read a revealing interview with Annie Drew, whose large-scale, realistic animal portraits capture intimate moments, Joy Jewell on making emotive digital pet portraits, and Marilyn Allis’ step‑by‑step guide to creating confident pet portraits. Elsewhere Sarah Taylor shares her bold, energetic approach to wildlife using inks, while Charlotte Strawbridge explores the quiet spirit of animals in a thoughtful feature.
For technique and projects, Rachel McNaughton paints luminous anemones, Alison Fennell transforms a dragonfly sketch into a jewel‑like watercolour, and Robert Brindley offers an oils demo for coastal scenes. Helen Carter fixes five common drawing mistakes for animals. Focussing on art clubs and societies, Tim O’Brien explains the creative benefits
of art societies.
Whether you’re after practical tuition, gallery news or creative encouragement, there’s something here to spark your next piece.
