The
visual arts magazine, The SA Artist, is celebrating its 1st birthday with the
release of issue no 7 (Nov/Dec 2012).
“One
year and counting ... We began this magazine because we saw the need for a
publication in which South African artists could share their stories and
techniques,” says Linda Hodnett of The SA Artist. “In the past six issues we
have featured over 30 artists whose careers in art serve as inspiration to
others. The support from our readers has been overwhelming, with our
subscription and distribution lists growing daily.
“In
this, our birthday issue, we mark this celebration with an exciting competition
in which one of our readers is featured on the cover of the magazine and
rewarded with a generous prize provided by our sponsors,” she continues. “The
competition was fierce with over 1,200 entries being received.”
Wim
Rautenbach demonstrates his unusual approach to landscape painting and Willie
Jacobs ends his portrait series with detailed instructions on how to paint
hair. For the youngsters there is a demonstration on manga drawing by Rob Hooper.
Other
featured artists are Shelagh Price, Floris van Zyl, Wakaba Mutheki and Greg
Schultz.
“How
to read an oil paint tube” explains the technical jargon found on tubes; and
there are ten tips for artists to look after their finances. John Smith
provides a critical look at the role of art groups and there is the second
installment on the burning issue of copyright in South Africa.
Take
a break from painting, put your feet up and test yourself with the Quick Art
Quiz.
