BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter Aug 5th How artists create their scenes

Published: Tue, 08/05/25

Hello

Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #528

I will be heading off today for the Paint the Point plein-air event in Mineral Point, WI. I try to get to these events a day early so I can scout out the local area and plan out what I will be painting. It's very fun and exciting getting to know these towns that I will be painting. I like talking to the folks that live there and get a good feel of what they love about their town. I like to paint things that the towns people like about their town and area.

If you are in the area August 6, 7, 8, and 9th look for us artist Paint The Point Plein-air event, in Mineral Point, WI.

The Dillman's Workshop is coming up soon, there are only a couple of spots left if you haven't signed up yet. SIGN-UP HERE

How Artists Create their Scenes

The title of this video was somewhat hard to figure out because I kind of talk and show many things about how artists create a scene/painting from photos or plein-air. I show their photo and then the painting. Watch video and see exactly what I am trying to say.

How to Make Your Paintings Feel Like the Scene - From Photo or Plein Air

Artist of the Week

I saw this artists work on Facebook and then went to his page and was really impressed with his paintings.

Product of the Week

I just purchased this stool for when I am painting Plein-air all day. It has been hard to paint all day and stand in place so long. I haven't received it yet but I am hoping it is light weight enough to take with me when I am painting plein-air.
