Alex Tyng's Artist Magazine Article




Hey Alex, I just saw your feature article in the Artists Magazine's current issue. Wow! It looks great, so I wanted to congratulate you and bring the fact to everyone's attention. My big question is, why isn't one of your paintings on the cover? It would be if I were the editor. All the best!

I also read the article today, well done, Alex! I agree with Marvin, one of your paintings should have been on the cover!

Thanks so much, Marvin and Bob! I'm very excited about it, and I'm glad it looks good! My copy hasn't arrived yet and I'm now thinking my subscription might have briefly lapsed before I renewed it , so I may have to wait for it to hit the newsstands. Patience isn't my strong suit. As for being on the cover--boy, that would have been nice, Too bad you two weren't making the editorial decisions.

Thanks Thomasin and Linda! It was a thrill to finally get the magazine and see how the article looked with all the images.

Here's the link that Linda is referring to. It's from the Artist's Magazine website's online features. It shows a step-by-step demo of The Harpist, which can also be found in the WIP section of the forum, in more detail

Congratulations Alex, this is a fine article about your working method.

I suspect that it will create a lot of respect when people understand the ammount of knowledge, skill and taste it takes to compose and produce such a great work of art.

The reference photos are just a tool and not half the painting.
