Artist's Palette

No 172
Magazine

Artist's Palette is the perfect magazine for the aspiring and accomplished artist alike. Provides insights on, as well as step-by-step demonstrations from, Australian and international artists. Featuring the latest in news, reviews and products from the art world as well as exhibition previews and reviews.

Artist's Palette is sure to stimulate your artistic sense.

Eye of Observation • Draw, draw, and draw some more; develop your artist’s eye of observation. Sterling advice from a lady who believes that seeing shapes in paintings requires a truly ‘arty’ eye.

Once We Were Important • A simplified and well named painting tells a powerful and interesting story. This clever pastel artist is delighted to share her techniques for the benefit of others.

MASTER HINTS AND TIPS

Lost Profession • Looking back on his early career as a bulldozer driver, this rural New South Wales painter laments the days when he was too young to appreciate his outstanding potential as an artist.

Loading Wheat – 1920s • It is rare to see an artist displaying this level of skill and understanding in capturing the activity and atmosphere of bygone days from Australia’s agricultural history.

Artists’ Easels • Many important tools are employed by artists in creating their paintings. Artists’ easels are now available in a host of styles and configurations to enhance the creative process. Some of your favourite art materials suppliers are more than pleased to highlight a selection of the many products being offered.

Fibre Art • This artist feels that the hardest lesson she had to learn was to believe in herself … and once she did that, everything started to fall into place and her confidence grew.

Water Lily Magic • Instead of paper and paint, this artist uses fabric and threads … and she uses a sewing machine instead of a brush. The textures, colours and prints of fabrics thrown together with threads fascinate her, and often give inspiration for her designs.

MATERIALS

Pelicans to Portraits • This lady has painted everything from pelicans to portraits. She has completed commissions including cats, dogs, horses, possums, numerous beach scenes … and even a Scottish piper.

Cowrie Hole – Newcastle • A lot of the paintings produced by this artist are quite detailed – but she does not draw them prior to painting. Instead, she works out the scale from a reference photograph and uses a ruler to measure where each part of the painting should be.

MATERIALS

MASTER HINTS AND TIPS

Blahuta’s Ute • Early in the year we ran a feature about ‘Utes in the Paddock’ – a landmark project by several notable artists. In this article, one of those artists shares his story and some of his views … and describes the process of creating his own piece of an amazing collaborative work.

Big Cats • This artist combines a love of animals – particularly the big cats – and a razor-sharp eye for detail to produce pen and ink drawings with such compelling realism that their eyes follow you around the room.

MATERIALS

‘Jama’ – King Cheetah • This exquisitely talented lady believes that every artist has failures … but it is important to remember that every success is better than the one before.

MASTER HINTS AND TIPS

Keeping On • This artist’s sterling advice to his developing peers is ‘keep on keeping on’ … learn something useful every day; and, most importantly, keep up the practise.

Midday in Bosa • This accomplished Australian watercolour artist insists that you can’t learn anything if you don’t practise. Clearly he has practised a great deal to reach his outstanding level of skill … as shown in this painting of a street in Italy.
