Round Robin at Middletown Art Center - May 6, 2017
In this live painting event, four watercolor artists – Tess Fields, Judy Hummer, Jane Lux and Zina Umyn -- will each start and finish their own painting in this live demo. But there’s a twist… Every 15 minutes, they will pass their painting to another artist to work her own magic, until all four have had the chance to collaborate on each painting. All four of the finished matted paintings will then be auctioned off.

JOE GYURESAK DEMONSTRATION
Wednesday, September 9, 2015, 3:00-5:00 PM
Both the the demo and the gallery walk were well attended. Joe lead a high energy, 2-hour demo using a "paper" called TerraSkin which is somewhat like Yupo but is actually made from stone. See Heartstonepaper.com. Joe did 2 paintings, the first a portrait using transparent paints starting with the darks, which is the opposite from the normal approach to watercolor. He then did a still life using a mix of opaque and transparent colors. Afterward, Joe encouraged everyone to closely inspect the paintings and materials and then handed out sheets of TerraSkin to the enthusiastic participants. A good time was had by all! Joe Gyurcsak is Dick Blick's resident artist. Thank you Joe!
