Favorite Magazines and Publications -These come in print and digital download with exception of Artists on Art, which comes as an online subscription or PDF.


Pastel Journal-If you are a pastel painter this magazine is for you.  It is the go-to publication for all things pastel.  It is published six times a year and features articles on artists, techniques, history, and materials.  There is a great listing of workshops and competitions in the back.  To order click here


Plein Air Magazine - Publisher Eric Rhodes is an avid plein air painter and Plein Air Magazine reflects his enthusiasm for the genre.
Published bi-monthly, Plein Air magazine is focused on landscape paintings by historical and contemporary artists, art collections, events and the process of creating plein air paintings.  It is beautifully designed, with rich reproductions and features the top artists and artworks from around the world.  I get both the print and digital form of this magazine.  The online version offers many extras and expands on the print form.  I get both, just because I like the feel of the magazine in my hands and  it is sooo comforting to curl up with and look at the beautiful photos.

International Artist-  This is my favorite magazine when it comes to instructional articles on different mediums and subjects. They have regular features from artists that explain technique and concept in an easy and informative way.  Harley Brown is a favorite contributor and I keep a file of his articles.  If you are a member of the Portrait Society of America you will recieve a subscrition to this magazine as a membership benifit.
