It happens all the time: You’re having trouble with a passage in your painting inspired by New England architecture, and you remember reading a particularly helpful Watercolor Magic article on painting details in buildings. Exactly when that was published, you haven’t a clue, and your stack of archives is as tall as your desk.

Help is on the way. For reasons such as this, we’ve just put all of our 2006 issues on one CD—so now you can save both time and space, instantly accessing the entire year’s worth of articles and advice. Just pop the CD into your computer, click on the issue you want to open, and go directly to a specific article by clicking on the respective bookmark.

Other pluses: The articles are printable for your own reference or sharing with friends; websites are hot-linked, thus allowing you to click on them and go directly online; and a comprehensive subject index makes the content fully searchable.

They’re available now at our online back issue store for $19.96. Click here for details.
