Winning Suggestion

I would like to know about the different

types of pencils and which pencils can be

used in conjunction with other mediums.

I would also like to undestand if different

types can be used together eg can

polychromos and watercolour pencils be

used together?

Debra Throup - Benoni, Gauteng

There is a lot to inspire you in this month’s jam-packed issue:

urban sketching, hyper-realistic drawings, painting with gouache,

pastel street scenes of Jozi, and beautifully rendered oil paintings.

Once again, we urge you to get out of your comfort zone and try

something new. Gouache is a medium that most artists shy away

from because it is best known for being used in graphic design studios, but Free State artist,

Rentia Coetzee put it to the test and was pleasantly surprised with the results. Our resident

experts Grant Wood, Malcolm Dewey and Louis Trichardt, continue to offer great practical

advice; and this month’s Winsor & Newton painting challenge shows just how unique all of our

styles can and should be.

As a special treat, there is a feature on international artist, John Wentz, who gives us an insight

into his daily routine and painting techniques. Finally, our cover competition is now in full swing

• don’t miss out on the chance to win that fabulous prize!

Happy painting.
