Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #527

Is the weather hot by you like it has been for me? It seems to be hitting the entire US. I have been staying inside and trying to get a bunch of things done for you my followers, trying to plan out all the many things I have learned the last few months and figuring out when to teach these discoveries. There are a lot of lessons and information coming up in the next couple of newsletters.

In this newsletter I will be talking about the new Holbein watercolor pencils that just hit the art stores and I will tell you how I have been using them.

August 6, 7, 8, and 9th I will be participating in the Paint The Point Plein-air event, in Mineral Point, WI.

The Dillman's Workshop is coming up soon, I hope there are still spaces available. I haven't talked with them in a while so I hope there is still space for you if you haven't signed up yet. HERE

Holbein's new Watercolor Pencils

I recently was sent a box of 50 watercolor pencils from Holbein and I started using them to see what they could do for me. Watch video below to see how I use them in my watercolor painting process.
