Advantages: Crammed full of top class content, good looking, great value

Disadvantages: Only once a month :-)

Now I'm not a 'practicing' artist as such, but my degree is in the arts and I just ADORE this magazine. It's glossy, informative, sumptuous, entertaining, original.

Every month, for a mere £2.60 you get practical features (tutorials) about different mediums and artistic genres; drawing, pastels, oils, illustrating, techniques. Interviews with artists and illustrators, really interesting and educational articles about, say, reproducing your work as prints, resident artists, new 'stars' of the art world.

On top of this there are many regualr features which are also compulsive reading; letters, diary roundup, (exhibitions, galeries, museums through the UK) book reviews, student showcase, crossword etc. THere's MUCH more than this though.

The cover is very glossy, the aper good quality, content is top class and there is quite a sizeable classified section at the back where you can find materials, workshops, holidays and courses, etc. Definitely one to buy if you are a practicing (or just ameteur or interested) artist or illustrator!
