Makes a GREAT gift!!! 
2008-02-15
In the rush of the holidays, I stumbled upon this mag subscription on Amazon. After a quick preview, I sent subscriptions to both my college-aged sister and a middle-aged friend. Both are art lovers & really enjoy getting their newest issues. This is a great resource for beautiful pictures, easy how-to articles, and creative artistic techniques. I also found that it is a great value for the price, and a super easy way to send a gift anywhere in the USA. I am very pleased with this magazine & will continue to recommend it to artists of all levels. Very good stuff. Even if you just buy it for the pics, it is well worth it. My sister is currently covering her apartment walls with many of the beautiful images. Good stuff!
The Artist's Magazine 2008-02-07
I was really suprised that the magazine came so fast. I really enjoy reading it, and it was about $40.00 off what it usually is. I quit getting it years ago because it was so expensive. I feel like I got a good deal.
Great magazine 2008-01-27
I have received my first issue of The Artist's Magazine, for January/February 2008. I am especially enjoying the article on Collage. I am well satisfied with my purchase and would think most anyone interested in Art would find The Artist's Magazine, both entertaining and instructional.
Not awesome, not awful 
2008-01-22
A fairly decent magazine. A little ad heavy. Not enough information about techniques. Artist profiles would be more useful and instructive if they included more about the artists' techniques and not just backgrounds/philosophies. Not bad for the beginner.

Solid and interesting artists publication 
2005-09-24
Whether you are a novice or a pro, this magazine is a must. It is not overly technical and it features a variety of media. I am a faithful reader and I frequently commend it to others. My only gripe is the inconsistency of writing. Some articles are little more than glorified captions for a few photographs of an artist's work. Other articles do an excellent job of explaining what the artist did to get the wonderful effect displayed in the photographs of the artwork. I'm more interested in technique than the artist's background and training. All in all, though, buy it you'll like it.
hotel art

this is great if you're a hobbyist. or a maker of hotel..no motel paintings.
sucks if you're not.
a must for students and teachers of all levels 2003-03-04
The Artist's Magazine is full of advice and ideas for anyone studying or teaching art; from its first monthly department, "Dialogue", which is a question and answer column from readers, to the final page "Master Class", which gives the history and analysis of a famous work, you will get articles that cover many techniques and media, as well as guidelines on the business side of art.
Taking the March 2003 issue as an example, the cover story is on the exquisite gouache paintings of Daniel K. Tennant. One of the four works pictured is broken down and shown in six stages, from the initial layout to the final delicate details.
Artist Joseph Frassetta explains his technique in "Reining it In", and tells us what materials and tools he uses to create his realistic portraiture and animal studies.
There is another article on landscape painting through the four seasons, and others on doing a self-portrait, mixing the use of colored pencils, and so much more. Some favorite monthly articles are "Art Clinic" and "Technical Q&A", which always have useful tips.
The back of the magazine has classified listings of art related opportunities, workshops, etc., and even the ads can be an informative resource.
The Artist's Magazine also sponsors a yearly competition, with many categories, including a student/beginner division.
The magazine has medium weight paper, good color reproduction, and teachers and students, especially of a traditional style of art, will find much to enjoy and learn in every issue.
Indispensable Source of Information and Inspiration 2003-01-01
I've enjoyed this magazine for years and have the habit of keeping all issues because they never fail to possess something of proven value. It's top-notch for getting great ideas and quality advise on anything pertaining to art. Like any other magazine, it gives you a dose of advertising, but it's not incredible over done.
Subjects range from portrait/self-portrait to landscape, still life and abstract design. But it doesn't end there; this magazine details style diversities from all across the board. Offering examples for improving techniques in various mediums, but generally pencil, watercolor, pastel, oil and acrylic. And no matter what the area or medium you specialize in, you'll be able to pick up handy tips in every issue. Sections of interest regularly highlight a specific tool or technique idea. Inform readers on market issues and other important business concerns. As well as provide interesting articles on artists and a little news and awareness of art related events. Plus will occasionally dip into art history and perform art contests.
This magazine will energize your motivations with impressive art and will help you improve on your own with short & simple instructions. Truly is thee magazine to have, for an artist at any skill level. [review author: tilley_traveler]
