A fellow Oregon, and a Bendite to boot! I've seen images of gyotaku here and there as I've walked down town Bend. I have always wanted to try the art form. It's absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Wonderful!
BEAUTIFUL !!!
I first did this with acrylics and watercolor when I was 15 (60 years ago). I never got close to this quality. Thanks
cool creative auntie vibe! cool artworks.
Great story! Would love to take a class from Heather!!
So is it safe to eat after washing off the paint? The video sent mixed messages about that aspect. Would love to try this as long as it's not being wasteful.
Yes, as long as you use a water soluble paint/ink and wash thoroughly afterward. Just yesterday I used acrylic on a trout and ate it an hour later.
A really nice story.
Love this! Wonder if Maude Kerns Art Center here in Eugene has a course on this?
Hey OFG, can you list the release date for these in the description?

Gyotaku is not pronounced like that in the slightest so it does make me question her actual knowledge on the subject but it's interesting to see Japan and Oregon together none the less.
Nonetheless.
She has the knowledge that comes from love and enthusiasm and experience. You do not find that in text books or classroom or so called experts
I'd say her knowledge was quite evident in her finished product.
