The amazing Bruce Waldman created this piece in about 45 minutes in front of a group at the new Chelsea NYC Dick Blick store. Since he didn't have a press, Bruce was not able to perform the final step in the process, which was to pull an actual print on paper. What you see above is the ink on plexiglas.
Join us Thursday (August 29) at 11:30am at the new Chelsea NYC Dick Blick for a free printmaking demo by Bruce Waldman. Bruce will be explaining his techniques, workflow and, of course, the Revere and Stonehenge paper he uses to create his masterpieces.

Artist Sandy Sandy takes you through some of her tips, tricks and techniques used to create her watercolor masterpieces.
Since 1996, Sandy has been a professional fine artist and up to January of 2009, has devoted her career to painting full time. A strong connection with animals and nature has been evident over the past years and through thousands of paintings. Her philosophy of spirit, who she is, and who she strives to become, is woven into her work. Having studied watercolor with many nationally known watercolor masters including those from the E.A.Whitney, Brandywine and New Hope Schools has given Sandy roots that are strong in the American Art Tradition.
We’ll also be raffling off a bunch of Yupo paper. We all look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
