A
s we begin our Series Four, it is with sadness
that we tell our readers that Diana has left. We
thank her from the bottom of our hearts for all
her hard work and wonderful ideas. We wish
her all the best for the future. Diana was with us from day one and
we sincerely appreciate her efforts.
And so the holidays are upon us, once again producing a
BUMPER issue - 80 pages!!! In this issue we feature a number of
synergetic items: we research what Alla Prima is and report back,
and Gordon Harris’ Evan Woodruffe give us a demonstration about
the same subject.
In Sketchbook, in the Artists Forum, Dougie explores the ins
and outs of live figure work as well as the stigma about ‘sex’ that
it seems to carry, and we feature a very talented young Jamie
Mackman with her sensitive yet bold nudes.
We read about the interesting history of how Derivian came
into being, as well as a fairly new product not yet available in
New Zealand but available for online ordering, Hydrocryl.
In our schools and youth pages, we have two young
photographers from St Peter’s College in Palmerston North and
also focus on the talented students from Bream Bay College.
John Botton advises us on how to prepare an Honours Portfolio
in Professionally Speaking and we feature our youngest artist ever
to be published in the magazine, Charlotte Rose - eight years old.
DON’T MISS OUT ON THE GIVE-AWAY’S ON PAGE 77!
We wish everyone a very happy holiday season with many
happy hours creating splendid masterpieces which you will send
to us to feature.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it and all the best of the
holiday season to everyone.
