BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter May 17th Art Movies

Published: Tue, 05/24/22

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #366

Thank you for all the replies and suggestions on adding other mediums to the Thursday night Paint-a-longs. The majority said they want to keep the Thursday nights to watercolor and many suggested that I do other mediums on another night or just a video on my YouTube Channel. Well, that is exactly what I will be doing... Thursday paint-a-longs will be all in watercolor and I will pre-record or do live videos on another night or maybe a zoom format class. Thanks again for the feedback

Thank you if you were one of the people that messaged me with art movies! I have a lot of movies to watch now... I should have done this list back when we were all stuck at home from Covid or during the winter. Enjoy the list of movies below.

On June 7th I will be heading to the TWSA exhibition in Kenosha to check out the show. If you want to join me in a walk around the exhibit just show up at 10 am when the museum opens.

This coming Friday I am doing a live in-person demonstration at the 4th Friday at the Starline exhibit. It starts at 6 pm and I will be demonstrating 2 watercolors one on Stonehenge Aqua White and Black paper with Holbein Watercolors and Gouache. More info HERE

Art Related Movies

As an artist there is something so great about watching movies that are art-related, it's almost like you can relate so much to the movies because you are an artist. I always feel like if you're not an artist you won't get what we artists are getting out of it. I especially like the art-related movies that go into the life of a particular artist.

Below you will find 21 movies that many of you emailed me and some I found on the internet. All the videos are linked to Amazon Prime where some you can watch for free but some you have to pay a small fee for. Enjoy! I've only seen 2 of these... I have a lot of movies to watch now!
