BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter May 9th Straight Lines

Published: Tue, 05/09/23

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #415

I just drove back home yesterday from a really wonderful workshop in Quincy, IL. I forget how much I love teaching students live. As a teacher I love being there with the students to see exactly how they paint and it is really easy to help when I can watch students over their shoulder.

Speaking of workshops, there is still time to register to go to my workshop at Dillman's... I hope you can make it to Dillman's. It really is a wonderful place to take my watercolor workshop. At this workshop you don't have to bring any supplies, I bring it all. Please sign-up ASAP for this most wonderful workshop!

This coming Friday I will be in Morris, Illinois conducting a 1 day workshop. It's always a great time teaching in Morris, IL!

Yes to Class at The Civic Center in Libertyville, Thurs, May 11th 1pm to 3:30pm

Yes to Class, at The Studio in McHenry, Sat, May 13th 9am to 11:30am

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

Making Straight Lines

I was questioned last week about how to make a straight line using masking fluid so I decided that it would make for a good article in this week's newsletter.

Watch the video to see how I make a straight line in 3 different ways.
