INTERMEDIATE GYOTAKU APRIL 30 AT THE BIG DRAW STUDIO!

I have recently studied with an outstanding gyotaku artist in Sarasota and am ready to share.

All who have completed Beginning Gyotaku with me are eligible for this workshop.

Hawaiian-Style Gyotaku for those who want to eat their fish after rubbing:

Using all natural items for cleaning and printing, we will do a QUICK PRINT in order to keep the fish cold.  Simply wash the fish afterwards and eat 'em up!

Once the quick prints are dry, we will colorize them using various mediums.

To register, go to http://www.teachstreet.com/ and search for Grace McKee in Apollo Beach, FL.

Haven't taken Beginning Gyotaku yet?  I am offering it on Tuesday, April 6, 1 - 3 pm, and Wednesday, April 27, 5:30 - 7:30 pm, at the Big Draw Studios.  Go to http://www.ruskinbigdraw.com/ to register and pay online.

This was fun day!  What an enthusiastic group!  And thanks for all your help getting me packed up and out of there.

MiraBay Acrylics Class for March Ended Today

Our series of four acrylics classes for the month of March ended today on a highly successful note.

Karen who is new to our group had never painted before this session.  Look at her fabulous painting of Chihuly glass!  She is proud and we are all proud of her.

We had a drop-in student who was on vacation and staying at Little Harbor with his lovely wife.  He came to the last three classes.  Meet Jim from Troy, Michigan, and check out his cool painting.  Good job, Jim!

Margaret, Martha and Marie (the 3M company) are still working on their creations so weren't ready for photos.

I will be out of town for ten days in April so I cannot commit to every Tuesday as before.
So we will meet at the Big Draw Studios in April for a three-day workshop on using the wipe-out method.  Anyone want to join us?
