BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter June 8th, Vignette

Published: Tue, 06/08/21

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #316, Vignette

It really feels great getting back to in-person teaching and this last Sunday I even got the chance to do a private paint party where everyone was vaccinated and I could put people together at a table and have a great time painting up a storm! With things getting back to where there can be in-person classes I have been able to pick up a bunch of new short 2 day workshops where I bring all the supplies. Check out those classes below.

Next Tuesday the 15th of June at 6 pm CST I will be demonstrating 2 paintings with acrylics on 2 different surfaces for the Duluth Art Institute to give you a sample of what to expect in my watermedia classes that will happen in July and August at The Duluth Art Institute. Go HERE for LIVE video

Vignette

This week's newsletter goes into the painting with the composition style of a vignette. What is a vignette in watercolor? It is a style of illustration/painting or image which fades into its background without a defined border.

When designing a vignette composition one needs to try and leave a lot of the paper exposed with no imagery or or content covering those areas.

Watch the BeckerArt Video below to explain and show you what a vignette style and composition is.
