Contribution to Official Painter Magazine Launch Issue



There's a brand new magazine in town, and I'm pleased to say that I was invited to participate in the first issue. It's great to see Painter getting more coverage like this, even if as an official magazine it can't help but blow it's own trumpet a little!

The concept was perfect for the tutorial because I could layer up the scanned and artificial textures, play with the wet watercolour layers, apply strong highlights and shadows etc etc...
