Recenzii
“Artist and author Julia Tanigoshi Tinker has taken the Japanese gyotaku tradition of making prints from caught fish that are inked and pressed on paper, and applied it to the sea life of the Panhandle. To these she adds watercolors, and the results are both perfectly accurate and quite appealing. Give this to your favorite artistic prodigy and watch the adults dig into it as well. Or vice versa. Tinker explains how it’s done, so let the family art projects ensue.”
