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.I am a watercolor artist and instructor. My friend who is also a watercolorist gave me a subscription to this magazine for my birthday. It is full of useful information, hints, and inspiration. You will love every page of every issue.

I have to admit I look forward to this coming in the mail. I am a beginning watercolor artist and I greatly enjoy this magazine. With each issue you get to look into the styles of different artists. They don't just tell you about the artist, they show you tips and give ideas. A more advanced artist would probably get quite a bit more out of this magazine then me. There are even articles about how to sell, and how to market your art. I look forward to using the new techniques!I look forward to receiving this magazine as a personal pleasure. I thoroughly enjoy looking at the artwork and even the ads to see what's new. One of the things I appreciate the most is the variety of styles presented. Work from different geographic and creative areas are represented and it just feels good to sit back with a cup of coffee and turn pages full of color and techniques while I learn and recharge with new ideas.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!
