Prints for PICA event in Portland, OR Photo: Patrick Leonard
Earlier this month, Gamblin Product Managers Briana Ball and Scott Gellatly pulled some monotypes at the annual Prints for PICA event in downtown Portland. Hundreds of monotypes were produced by local artists and put up for sale to support the Portland Institute of Contemporary Art (www.pica.org).
Gamblin supplied both Relief and Etching Ink for the event, which gave us a chance to talk shop with some of Portland’s most exciting artists.

Mid-America Print Council 2010 Conference 10/14 to 10/17
We will be attending our first MAPC conference next week – with more than 500 printmakers participating, it’s sure to be exciting! The schedule is jam-packed with lectures, demonstrations and exhibits.
One don’t miss event is the “Printmaking Pig Circus” which will entail printmakers printing woodblocks, etchings and lithos on shirts and paper for conference attendees. Portland Intense Black Relief Ink and Portland Cool Black Etching Ink will be joining the circus as demo colors. It will be a great chance to see the inks in action and take home some artwork too!
If you will be at the event, please stop by our booth at the vendor fair and say hello. We are looking forward to answering questions about our etching and relief inks. Samples will be available for anyone who would like to test-drive them.
Some of our favorite art materials retailers will also be attending the vendor fair if you would like to take some ink home with you or have some shipped. McClain’s and Takach are a great resource for shipping materials. Wet Paint and Utrecht have our materials on hand locally.

Many thanks to DRIVE-BY PRESS artists, Ryan O’Malley and Nick Alley, for visiting us at the Gamblin factory! Ryan and Nick were gracious enough to come by and discuss contemporary printmaking practices and the work of Drive-By with local printmakers.
They also put on a one-day show from their extensive print collection right here at the factory. Their print collection is full of incredible prints from artists working throughout the United States. I highly recommend taking in a DBP talk or show if you get the chance.
Oh yeah, and they have a press in their car! Truly impressive to see a fully functional print shop set up in under half an hour. Many thanks for printing everyone the great shirts too . . . we love them.

Year #4 for the Art Materials Trade Show at the Savannah College of Art and Design! Gamblin Artist-Rep Anna Fox Ryan joined me in participating at this one-of-a-kind trade show which marries the art material industry with one of the finest art colleges in the country. This is truly a unique event where art students can rub shoulders with representatives from a number of fine art material manufacturers. For us, it serves as a great opportunity to connect with students and painting instructors and to talk about new products…FastMatte alkyd oil colors in particular. The event also gave me an opportunity to give a hands-on workshop called Contemporary Approaches to Underpainting & Glazing, in which I discussed approaches to indirect painting techniques with the vast array of oil colors and mediums available to painters today…certainly a topic I hope to expand upon in the future.

Painting from the Laguna Cliffs, Dana Point, CA
Dana Point, CA - What an amazing event! This is American Artist’s second annual Weekend with the Masters event -drawing artists from all over the country to work with some of the premier figurative and landscape painters working today. I am fortunate to participate in the event, and rub shoulders with some amazing painters!
This event also has served as a platform to sample all of the participants (over 400 of them) with our new FastMatte alkyd oil colors, Neo Megilp, and our pre-mixed Gamvar picture varnish.
When I wasn’t demo’ing materials or talking shop, I was able to get out and paint in some of the workshops. For the bulk of the day on Friday I painted over-looking the coast at Dana Point, sitting in on Scott Chistensen’s plein air workshop. I found Scott to be a very articulate and generous instructor, as well as being a terrific painter. For more in Scott’s work, visit: www.christensenstudio.com.
