BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter Oct. 4th Brush Pressure

Published: Tue, 10/04/22

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #383

Hello from Gren Bay, Wisconsin! I am here demonstrating and conducting a 2-day workshop for the Northeast Wisconsin Watercolor Society. I am so happy to be doing live workshops and watching students work in real-time while painting and working on my exercises. Next week I will be in Ann Arbor doing the same thing for the Michigan Watercolor Society. If your society or club would like me to come to your town, have them contact me at Beckerart@gmail.com

Sorry I haven't done any Sunday Plein-air demos in the past 4 weeks... My phone camera broke, but good news, my insurance is sending me a new phone this week, so hopefully I can get back to Plein-air demonstrating for you in the near future.

Yes to Class, at the Civic Center in Libertyville October 6th 1pm to 3:30pm

Yes to Class, at The Studio in McHenry, October, 8th 9am to 11:30am

Email me at Beckerart@gmail.com for any info you may need about my classes or workshops.

Brush Pressure

I watched an artist on Facebook doing some amazing brush strokes and she talked about how she does them. I decided to try it out and I made the video below to show you how I put pressure on my brush to make great brush strokes. Check out video below.

In this paint-a-long we will be using watercolor on coldpress 300lb paper and we will be simplifying the details and value pattern. I will also show you how to get the optical scatter to depict the brightness of the sun and learn about shadows.
