BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter August 30th Sky #3

Published: Tue, 08/30/22

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #379

I can't believe we are heading into fall and I am still in a summer painting mood.
Next month I will be very busy with a Plein-air fest and a watercolor workshop that I think may interupt a couple of paint-a-longs, a newsletter, and now a couple of Sunday morning demos. I guess I am saying I may be taking a vacation from these weekly things until I get back. I will try if at all possible to get the newsletter and paint-a-long out to you, but I have a feeling because of limited wifi and being busy it may not happen. I will try my hardest to make things happen but if they don't, this is only temporary

Are you signed up for my next live workshop at Dillman's SEPT 18 - 23 There are still a few spaces available. You don't have to bring any art supplies to this workshop because I bring everything. Information and sign-up HERE

2nd Week of Another Sky

Last week we worked on white clouds that were meant to be exercises that should have helped you learn how to control your pigment into a wet-on-dry and wet-into-wet painting surface. I hope you took that lesson seriously because it is the most important lesson that I really want you to do and really learn how to control your pigment.

This week we are painting a sky again but it will be done as a whole scene with water, waves, and rocks/boulders. It is still an exercise but will have a composition of lights and darks to it.

We will be painting a sunset and it will have some optical scatter to it. For those that don't know what optical scatter is, take a look at the painting below. the sun is so bright in this painting that it burns away some of the objects and turns them red and hot, this is a bit of what optical scatter is and does.

It is important to again watch this weeks PAINT-A-LONG which is on Thursday Sept. 1st at 6:30 CST

Product of the Week Again

I am leaving this product from a week ago up again this week because I got the product last week and wanted to tell you about it this week. Like I said last week the last 3 brands of portable airbrushes I bought on Amazon all broke. I'm not certain this one will not break in time but this one is a 1000 times better then the others that I had before. I will be testing it more but for now I would recommend this one over the others that I had recently bought. I love that the on and off switch is the trigger of the airbrush, as you press down the spray button it turns on the airbrush and when you pull the button back it sprays. 1st couple of trys it has worked great.
