Hello
Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #79, Simplify
Last Tuesday I gave a demonstration at the Glenview Art League and the unthinkable happened...I forgot my demonstration painting including the photo reference at home. I couldn't
believe I forgot it and suddenly went into panic mode. Lucky for me I had an example of a painting that wasn't painted on the back which I could use to demonstrate on. I am also lucky that I have a photographic memory so I could redraw the sketch really fast so I could do the demonstration that I planned on doing in the first place. It all worked out and in the end many of the artists watching said that they enjoyed seeing how I worked it out from my memory.
You can see that
painting partially done in the photo below.
NEW WEEKLY CLASS... I am back to teaching in Long Grove after many years away. I use to teach at the Hilligross gallery/school, but now I am starting a new Monday morning class at the Rivellino School of Art.
The class is a watercolor and or an acrylic class. Classes start next week and they start at 9:30, end at noon, the cost is $25.00 per class and they are pay-as-you-go classes.
Here is their website, the class is so new it isn't on their website yet.
Please contact the school (847) 383-6673 or me to let us know you are coming.
the address is 350 Old McHenry Road, Long Grove, IL 60047
This week The Lake Region Watercolor guild meeting has the artist Rosalie Vass as the guest demonstrator. For more
