Using Gyotaku Techniques with Autumn Leaves to Unleash Your Creativity with Asian Painting

Описание: We have a unique video today, teasing one of our subjects for our upcoming Virtual Office Hour Event. We will be using traditional Japanese Gyotaku (魚拓) techniques to create some elements that are by themselves artwork or elements for a painting, collage or mixed media type art project.

Gyotaku is traditional Japanese fish printing where ink is applied to a fish as a means of documenting the catch and producing art. There is a set of careful techniques that allow gyotaku artists to produced beautiful, accurate imprints of their subjects but we will be playing with the techniques in a looser way to go for something more abstract.

Watch the video and try it yourself!
