photographer finds Artist's magazine useful

Obviously, as a photographer, artist's techniques are not useful to me, but noticing the look and feel of the various art mediums, gives me ideas for approaches to my photography that I might not discover in a "photography" magazine. As one example, I might reduce the detail in a picture to make the forms themselves more prominent.

Needs more attention to abstract paintings and mixed media

My interests in painting is abstract using acrylic, oil, and ink. I would like to see more information about other artists' abstract work and their color selection, texture, and media.

I find the Artist's Magazine addresses mostly realism - reproducing a photo quality image. With the present software and digital cameras many fine quality artwork is produced using digital imagery only. As a digital artist I enjoy photographing and enhancing the images. As a painter I want to create abstract paintings that only I can create without the camera and computer.

What I would like to see in this magazine is more articles on "creating" an abstract painting. Articies on how an artist renders and develops the image with paint and other media to produce a unique, powerful work that is totally the artist's creation. Also how he/she creates by distortion, feelings, and images from within the artist's mind and heart.

I would never ever get this magazine again. I learned absolutely nothing from it.

Disappointed in a magazine I once loved.

I subscribed to  this magazine for over 10 years and stopped it as I found their content and articles were no longer as good as before.  I decided to try it again after a few years, and I agree with my first assessment.  I will not continue this subscription after this year.

Full Coverage

I think that Artist's Magazine has a full coverage on various art styles and mediums.   The articals on tools and materials are very helpful.  It is nice to hear the artist's description of his/her work and the steps taken to acheive their work.  I look forward to getting the new magazine in the mail and I savor every part of it from cover to cover.
