Hello
Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #135, Holbein Greens
December is here and I don't feel quite ready for winter or the holidays yet. Last weekend it started to snow and the freezing weather sudden appeared and I just then started looking for my winter coat.
I think it is time to start thinking about my workshop, demonstrations and a paint party in Florida come January. I have been told that some of you are already signing up, thank you, thank you..... can't wait to see you there!
Did you hear about Pantone's color of the year is UltraViolet! What a great year 2018 is going to be with Ultra Violet being the color of the year. This morning I woke up to a Wisconsin Public Radio show talking about the Pantone
color of the year. If you want something to listen to about the new color of the year, you can listen to it
HERE. With Violet being my favorite color, this week's newsletter is covering a color I don't have on my palette, Green. However, after testing all of Holbein Greens this weekend I think I will have to put a few on my palette. Read below which greens I
like.
This Thursday, December 14th The Lakes Region Watercolor Guild will have their December meeting where the meeting is split into 2 parts. The first part will be me demonstrating for an hour and the second part will be the members painting cards for the
Camp Quality Foundation, which helps kids with cancer.
I have decided to demonstrate on hot
press which is something I paint on in my studio but have never used to demonstrate with. This should be fun or a complete disaster....stop on by to see what happens.

BeckerArt Gallery/Studio/Classroom Report: Thanks to Craigslist, Offer-up and the Re-Store, I have come across a lot of things that I had on my need to have list for the gallery. This last week I
found kitchen cabinets for the partial kitchen I will be installing in the gallery. I sure do love to resale shop and find deals on things I can use but can't afford to buy new.
