Those of you who have already picked up issue 30 of the magazine will know that we’re supporting the annual Drawing Day event this year on Saturday 6 June. Drawing Day aims to get a million drawings done in a day to promote art and artists worldwide. It’s easy to get involved - click the banner above to find out more, or just get creative and then upload your work to your regular Painter Gallery with the tag ‘Drawing Day’ in the title. Let’s see how many paintings we can create!

Stuck for inspiration? Take your sketchbook or graphics tablet outside, set up a still life, discover self-portraits, visit your local or national art gallery or simply “take a line for a walk” as Paul Klee said! There’s a wealth of creative inspiration inside the pages of Painter this issue, so why not grab those tutorial files and power up your steampunk skills, discover the techniques behind Helen Chierego’s Kookaburra Princess, learn how to use the Impasto brushes, be inspired by Cher Threinen-Pendarvis or learn some sneaky tricks from the Painter Cheat Guide?
