Hello
Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #168, Point Driver
Back home after 2 weeks away and getting right back into my classes, paint parties and painting.
I always learn so much about teaching and how to better teach when away doing
workshops. I also get very inspired to get back to my weekly classes and also to get back in the studio and try new things.
I have a lot to do with all the new Holbein products I took home from the Vermont Art Event. When I have them figured out I will put my findings in this newsletter.
This coming Saturday there is an exhibition of the Lakes Region Watercolor Guild members at the Antioch Fine Arts Foundation. August 11th from Noon to 4pm. The
show hangs all of August.
My 2 day workshop in North Carolina this coming October was sold out but we are adding another 2 day workshop for those that missed out on getting into that first workshop. sign-up for the second workshop Click Here Perquimans Arts League, Hertford NC, October 15th and 16th and another 17 and
18 I will be changing the subjects of what we are painting for those of you that want to take the workshop 2 times.
Thank you goes out to all that have sent me images for my Armed Forces Exhibition. The show is coming together well. If you would like to see my sketches go HERE... Yes to class at the Civic Center Libertyville, Thursday, August 9th 1:00 pm to 3:30 Yes to class at the Antioch Fine Arts Foundation, Thursday, August 9th, 6:30 pm to 9
pm Yes to class at the BeckerArt Gallery in McHenry, Saturday, August 11th 9:00 am to 11:30 am For quite some time now I have framed my own work. At first I would try to do it as cheaply as I could because I didn't have the money to go to a professional framer. As years have gone by I still try to keep the costs down but I try to make it look as professional as possible. One tool that really helps to make your work look like it was done by a professional is to use a
point driver to attach your picture down to the frame.
Even if you don't frame a lot I would still recommend you get a point driver, even if you only need it a couple times a year, it is well worth the price and your time. See video below to see how it works.
