Hello Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #418 I'm back from an amazing week at PACE 23 and have come back with so many new teachings to bring you in
up coming newsletters. One of those teachings was from an artist I met at PACE who told me about an amazing podcast that I listened to while driving home. That Podcast is below in this week's newsletter.
Coming up this Saturday, June 3rd, I will be at the Cedarburg Plein-air
event. Next week I will be up there painting as many paintings as possible. If you are around the Cedarburg, WI area, stop by and say hello and check out all the painters who will be painting that town.Coming up on Sunday June 11th at the McHenry Dam
State Park, is a "Love Our River Day" event with a free Plein-air along with The Studio and me from 9:30 to 3:30. Bring your painting supplies and try your hand at plein-air painting. I have a bunch of easels if you need to borrow one, or paint on a bench or on a blanket. Come anytime between 9:30 and 3:00 and have some free fun. If you are looking for help, I'll be available to help you out. I will also have easels set up for you to show what you have
painted and maybe even get the chance to sell your work. More info HERESign-up for Dillman's in June! HERE Yes to Class with at The Civic Center in Libertyville, Thurs, June 1st 1pm to 3:30pm NO Class, at The Studio in McHenry, Sat, June 3rd I had gone to PACE 23 Plein-Air Expo and convention
with the intent to meet and network with as many artists and art organizations as possible... low and behold my mission was accomplished. I met artists from all over the world and one of those artists from Alaska had made a recommendation of Draftsmen for when I was driving back home.
When I drove home from PACE23 I listened to many episodes of Draftsmen and I was very surprised how good this podcast was. I highly recommend this podcast and if you are not into podcast but instead like to see a video version of the podcast you can see them all on the Draftsmen YouTube Channel. Either way that you listen or watch I highly recommend Draftsmen.
Draftsmen are 2 artists that I feel really know their stuff when it comes to art related subjects.
