Leisure Painter magazine

Leisure Painter magazine

"Leisure Painter" is a learn-to-paint magazine, first published in 1967. It is published monthly by The Artists’ Publishing Company, based in Tenterden, Kent, and costs £3.30 from newsagents. The magazine's editor is Ingrid Lyon.

"Leisure Painter" magazine aims to give step-by-step tuition to beginners and amateur painters, as well as general advice on drawing and painting. Art tutors - including David Bellamy, Ray Campbell Smith, Alwyn and June Crawshaw and Tony Paul - set projects, describe their working methods, and offer tips and hints for readers.

The magazine's regular articles include: practical instruction on drawing and painting in different media; competitions and special offers; monthly critiques of readers' work; questions from readers answered; reports by art tutors on art materials, products, books and DVDs; updates on open competitions, exhibitions and art-related events; and workshops and holidays in the UK and abroad tutored by professional artists.

The magazine's website, Painters-Online, was launched in September 2007. Painters-Online is a growing online community, including a forum for sharing experiences and advice; blogs; a gallery to upload images of visitors’ drawings and paintings; and a searchable database of art clubs and art tutors.
