Artists Magazine March/April 2025 is the complete issue in digital PDF form. This 84-page edition focuses on making a mark, with feature articles on artists working in pen, colored pencil, charcoal, pastel, and oil. Purchase includes instant download and lifetime access to the file.

Published bimonthly by Golden Peak Media, this issue covers contemporary artists, drawing and painting techniques, art history, exhibitions, and practical studio advice. It is designed for working artists, art students, and anyone interested in creative practice.

Book Overview

This issue presents five artist features: Ed Fairburn transforms antique maps with ink drawings; Marcos Rey builds emotionally powerful portraits with charcoal, ink, and oil; Tom Garner explores constant change in an expansive body of paintings; Megan J. Seiter creates lively floral portraits with colored pencil; and interdisciplinary artist Tony Ortega uses pastel and other media in a style he calls controlled scribbling.

Regular departments include an anatomy of a painting by Jerry N. Weiss on Rembrandt’s print “Clement de Jonghe, Printseller,” a creativity challenge by Marla Baggetta with four small-study bouquet exercises, a lesson on thumbnail practice by Kristy Gordon, charcoal art hacks, Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year announcement, gallery news, an independent study column, and must-see exhibitions.

Why This Book Matters

Artists Magazine has long served as a practical resource for artists at every level. This issue highlights the diversity of mark-making tools and surfaces, from ink and charcoal to pastel and oil, and features both emerging and established voices.

The inclusion of art history—Rembrandt’s printmaking and Caspar David Friedrich’s landscapes at The Met—connects contemporary practice to broader traditions. This combination of studio instruction, artist profiles, and exhibition news makes the issue valuable for both studio use and art-historical reference.
