BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter Feb 13th Panels & Boards

Published: Tue, 02/13/24

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #454

I am very excited about how many of you are going to start trying to wax your watercolors so you don't have to mat and put glass on them. However, I keep on hearing many of you ask what can I use as a board for gluing my paper to. In this week's newsletter video, I show you what I use.

Last Wednesday I started a new weekly morning class in Lake Zurich, IL. and it was Great! It looks like there are 2 rooms that I could use so if you were told it was full and put you on a waiting list, I will get you off that list and have them open up another room.

My next workshop is Kanuga... this is one you don't want to miss... it's so much fun! Kanuga Watermedia Workshop, Montreat, W/C & Gouache, NC March 24-29

The watercolor above was done on my Sunday Demo with David

The Sunday demo is usually at 9am cst on my YouTube Channel SUBSCRIBE PLEASE.
