Art magaine?

Im lookin for a art mag that u can collect and get art materials with each issues Dose anyone know which i should go for I've been looking for ages Please help!!

I agree a good book is worth all the gimmicky mags in the world. The best book that I ever bought in my life was:
The Artist's Handbook, by Ray Smith. Tells you all you need to know about different techniques, materials etc. Will give you lots of ideas for experimentation.

I also agree that mooching around the local art shop is a great idea.

Read the mags in the local library.

And if you're looking for examples by artists, past or
contemporary, the web is an amazing tool.
For examples of woodblock printing:
Go to ask.com.
Type 'woodblock printing' into the box.
Click on the 'Images' button.
Lots of eg.s come up, from all sorts of sources,
contemporary ad's, Luther's manifesto, Edvard
Munch....
Then refine your search -sayto 'Edvard Munch-
woodcut prints'.
Click images again...
You'll also find interesting historical bits by going into the
source documents.....
Broadband is worth the few bob.
Google images is also great.
Try doing the same search with both sites.
Download the free toolbars, to speed things up.

If you're looking for this kind of mag as a present for someone. Think again. Mags get worn and tattered and File folders are cumbersome. I've had the artists handbook for 20 years, and i find i still get as excited about it as the first day i bought it at a knockdown price.
