BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter June 23rd, Plein-air painter

Published: Tue, 06/30/20

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #266,

Hello from the Northwoods of Dillman's resort. I would love to give you a bunch of info in this newsletter but I am sitting in a parking lot of the local casino to bring you this newsletter, so you have to forgive me if the newsletter this week is a little short and sweet.

This Thursday I will have a Thursday paint-a-long but it will be a plein-aie demo and it will have to be back on Facebook

Next week on Thursday the 9th I will be demonstrating at the DAI in Duluth Minnesota for the Minnesota Watercolor Society. See Info Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNkzHswI9rU

Next class at the Civic Center in Libertyville will be July 2nd from 1pm to 3:30pm with Sue Macfarlan

NO class at the BeckerArt Gallery on July 4th

Email me at Beckerart@gmail.com for any info you may need about my classes.

Plein-air painter

Since I didn't have much time this week to write you up a good newsletter I am going to a video of an artist that paints plein air sketches like no one else I know... watch this and any pother of James Gurney's videos and you will be amazed. I'll James do the talking and teaching this week!
