I have given this as a Christmas present to my sister who requested it. I am sure she will love it.
Rating  - Watercolor Magic
My husband is a watercolor artist and we used to order this magazaine directly. Now with the Amazon service, we not only get the magazine a little cheaper, we get it renewed easily via emails from them. Excellent service!
Rating - Best of the watercolor quarterlies
The quarterly magazine "Watercolor Magic" features well-known artists such as George Gibson, Carolyn Lord, Stephen Quiller, and Janet Fish, who share their inspiration and techniques with the readers. There's always something in each issue for both beginning and advanced watercolorists. The magazine is packed with color photographs--even the advertisements are interesting. I only wish it were published more than four times a year.
One of my favorite features is the "Swipe File" where readers share tips and techniques, such as how to apply frisket with a feather, transforming plastic Christmas light separators into brush holders, and constructing a mini-sketch kit.
Here are examples of some of the features, taken from tenth anniversary February, 2003 issue:
"Ten Tales of Passage: Past and Future Perfect" - Ten artists talk about their careers: how they started, where they're going, how to connect with people who might enjoy their art. Paintings from each artist illustrate this article.
"Freedom of Choice: The Best Paintings of 2002" - artists honored by various watercolor societies, along with photos of the winning pictures
"Ten Tips for Mixing Media" - artist Stephen Quiller discusses the use of acrylics, casein, gouache, etc. in watercolor paintings.
"Painting Snow Scenes" - step-by-step instructions for painting a winter landscape.
"Watercolor Magic" also lists upcoming shows and museum exhibits across the United States.
