Hello
Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #530
Hello from Dillman's at my 4 day Watercolor/Gouache Class!
I will be talking about protecting your
watercolors again in this week's newsletter because, now that I have everyone confused with the Wax vs Varnish videos I have made. I finally took a deep dive into all the questions that you and I have had about what we should really be doing.
This Thursday's paint-a-long is posted below but I'm never certain when up here at Dillman's if I will have enough Wifi power to run the Paint-a-long. Tune in and if I don't come on exactly at 6:30, it means I
don't have the bandwidth to show the Paint-a-long.
Email me at Beckerart@gmail.com for any info you may need about my classes or workshops.
Deep Dive into Protecting your Watercolor Paintings
Yes, I know I have been flipflopping a lot when it comes to this issue of wax vs varnish and I have been asked tons of questions about everything related to this wax and varnish
issue, so I took a deep dive into this subject and I found out a bunch of new stuff. Watch the video to find out all the new things I found out.
