BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter April 7th, Paint the Impossible
Published: Tue, 04/07/26
Hello
Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #560
What is the thing that motivates you the most when it comes to painting? There are definitely times when it takes me forever to get a
painting going. I find great motivation through artist friends. I highly recommend a painting date with a friend or a group of friends. It's so fun to get together with artists and paint. I know many towns have painting groups that meet once a week to paint. Weekly classes are also a great way to paint. If you don't have a friend or group around you, you can also get motivated with my Live Paint-a-longs on YouTube. I feel so good when so many of you visit my live paint-a-longs and later tell me
that they helped you out so much.
If you live in Northern, IL., there are many places, clubs, and classes you can join. There are many new classes at Main Street Center in Lake Zurich, where I teach on Wednesdays. There is also a new class with Maria Galvan-Herrera that teaches Gouache which I recommend. Check it out HERE

When there are loads of objects in a scene many beginners steer clear of these reference photos. In the video below I talk about how you can simplify scenes to make them possible and easier to
paint.
