BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter May 7th Soft Edges

Published: Tue, 05/07/24

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #466

I'm away again in Green Bay, Wisconsin for another Demo and live workshop. Last week while in Reedsburg, Wisconsin I started a new thing for my live classes even though everyone brings their own palettes I also bring all my palettes for the students to borrow so everyone is working with the same paint and colors. I think I like it when all the students are working from the exact same palette. It helps me in my teachings and I think students learn much more when using my palette. I'm gonna test it again in this weeks live workshop.

Have a Happy Mother's Day this coming Sunday!
I have to make it about my mom this Sunday so I will not have time to do a Sunday Demo with David. The following Sunday I will see you in the Smokey Mountains for PACE 24

Sunday Demo with David done on Sunday Mornings

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

Creating Soft Edges
