Did you know that the publisher of Watercolor Artist also publishes some of your other favorite art magazines, including The Artist's Magazine and Southwest Art, as well as Norht Light Books? If you're already a fan of these titles—or just want to get a great deal on some great art instruction—check out the Very Important Painter (VIP) program, a new membership program that supplies—for an annual fee—access to free content and gifts, as well as regular savings on all the art-inspiring books, magazines and digital materials you might need to support your passion. Here's how it works:

With a one-year paid membership of $49.99, you get your choice of either a one-year subscription to The Artist's Magazine (a newsstand value of $51.90) or any one pick of a North Light art book (a retail value of $32.99)! You'll also receive three months of unlimited access to all the online workshops at artistsnetwork.tv. Finally, as a VIP member, you'll receive 10% off every purchase you make at www.northlightshop.com. This is the online store where you can find, among other things, Watercolor Artist's back issues (print and digital versions), annual issue CDs and digital downloads of specific articles; books by your favorite watercolor artists such as Cathy Johnson, Birgit O'Connor, Jean Pederson and Nita Leland; and DVDs with painting demonstrations by Stephen Quiller, Jean Grastorf, Charles Reid and more.
