Here is the latest news from my corner of the art world..
I'm featured in the November 2011 issue of The Artist’s Magazine. You can order the magazine online via print version or digital download. You can also find hard copies in book stores, like Barnes & Noble, in the Magazine section. I wrote the Drawing Board column on page 66, “Build” a Better Building. It is the second of two articles I have written for the magazine about using perspective and painting buildings. I am also included in the article “tools that are tried-and-true” on page 58.
Be sure to pick up a copy of the October/November issue of International Artist Magazine. I have a major article, starting on page. 82, here is a PDF of the article. It is an article about how I painted ”Reflections in Pewter.”
The French watercolor quarterly magazine, L'Art de l'Aquarelle, has included a small article about my watercolors in its issue #10, September-November 2011. For those of you whose French is better than mine, here is a PDF of the article.

April 2011: Artist's Magazine - Watercolor Silver Still Life | A Demo "In the April 2011 issue of Watercolor Artist, Laurin McCracken shares his favorite recipes for grays and shows you how to use them to best effect in a number of different still life and landscape paintings. He also demonstrates step by step how to paint realistic watercolor clouds in 10 simple steps. Here, he demonstrates his process for painting one of his signature silver still lifes."
There will be other article in 2011 in the International Artist magazine.
November 2010 Article: Southwest Art Magazine - Catching the Light "..McCracken’s long career in architecture and marketing gave him much more than a chance to experience original art around the world. It honed his already detail-oriented mind, trained him in drafting and photography, and was responsible for taking him to a place where he met the perfect watercolor instructor."
Thank you to all the art lovers who visited my show “Visual Abundance” Watercolors by Laurin McCracken at the E.E. Bass Cultural Arts Center in Greenville, MS. The Greenville Arts Council is a valuable resource for Greenville and the entire Delta.
I had a terrific class at Dillmans this year. I will be returning with an Intermediate and Advanced floral class next year, August 27 – 30, 2012. I hope you will plan to be with us.
All the best,
Laurin • News Archive |
