BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter July 1st, Advice

Published: Tue, 07/01/25

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #524

Happy 4th of July Week! Hope you are having a nice summer and practicing up a storm! Since talking with you about practicing last week, I have done 4 paintings and with each painting I was thinking about how I can advance my skills and also how I can teach you to also advance your skills.

In the last 2 months I have received some great advice from some well known artists. I will talk about that advice in this week's newsletter video.

Next week I will be heading to Easton Maryland Plein-air Event and for the next 3 weeks I don't know exactly what's happening so I am playing it by ear when it comes to the Paint-a-longs and this Newsletter. If I get the time I will do them but if this event takes over then I won't get the chance to do them.
If you are in the area of Easton, Maryland, here is a calendar of each days events... Calendar HERE

Some Advice I Received from 2 Amazing Artists

In the last two months, I have had the pleasure of watching and painting with some great artists. I saw and received very good tips and advice from these artists, which I talk about in this week's newsletter video below.

Artist of the Week

Joseph Zbukvic is the artist I talked about in the video above!

Product of the Week

This is a great little seat if you are a plein-air painter or an urban sketcher. Sometimes it can get very tiring when standing for 2 to 3 hours painting.
