Hello
Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #113, Wet-into-Wet
Last week I was trying something new with one of my classes and it was a blast.... we were using rubber stamps to add to our watercolors. Since it was the first time experimenting with rubber
stamps I really didn't come up with anything nice, but boy did I learn a lot. I will keep on with these rubber stamps and stencils and I will show them off when I get a better handle on how to use them in a painting and how to better teach with them. I always try to get my students to try new and different techniques to grow as an artist and better their techniques and painting style.
Recently I have been using the plexi-glass wet-into-wet technique to teach students to
learn how to control a wet wash. This technique really has worked wonders in teaching students to control their washes. This weeks newsletter will go into how to practice with this technique.
Today and next Monday the 17th I am meeting many of my friends and students at the
Kenosha Public Museum to see the Transparent Watercolor Society Show (TWSA) Everybody is invited to join us. We will be meeting at the Museum at 10:30am on both days. We will do a walk through and then another where I will be giving a talk, critiquing and trying to teach all at the same time. Afterwards we will be heading to have lunch
at a yet to be determined restaurant and talk art. No need to contact me if you want to join us, just come on either day at 10:30 and walk with us.
