BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter April 16th Which Gouache Colors

Published: Tue, 04/16/24

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #463

This coming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I will be taking a 3 day workshop with the master Don Andrews. His book on Interpreting the Figure in Watercolor was a favorite book of mine when I was at The American Academy of Art because it was the only watercolor book that went into painting the figure in watercolor. I studied and painted many of the paintings in that book. Now I will get the chance to hear him live at his workshop on putting people into a landscape. I will take notes and learn all I can so I can pass it on to all of you.

There are so many of you that I have to thank for all the wonderful notes I get from everybody about how much you all enjoy this newsletter and the paint-a-longs. It is totally my pleasure and I love seeing how so many of you are learning to create such wonderful works of art. THANK YOU for being part of this group!
