BeckerArt FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter Feb 10th, Soft and Hard Edges
Published: Tue, 02/10/26
Hello
Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #552
We are into our 6th week of paint-a-longs and I can tell already that so many of you are really getting a lot out of this years lessons. I think it has really
helped to get these lessons organized. Coming next week I will also have my website back and I am so excited to show you how easy it will be to get times and dates and the photo references for the paint-a-long lessons.
In last weeks newsletter I asked you to look for an artists work that you admire and would like to paint like. Next week I am picking a
Winslow Homers painting for the paint-a-long but I hope you will pick your favorite painter and copy that artists work.
I am so happy that by the next newsletter my website will be up and running again. It has taken way longer then I though but I wanted everything a certain way and that made it take a lot longer.
