Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, once again hosted their annual Draw-a-Thon. The drawing extravaganza ran all night, literally, from 7PM until 7AM. This year’s event drew over 400 attendees . Utrecht donated three gift certificates to our stores, which were included in the early morning raffle. All participants received discount cards, flyers and free erasers from Utrecht. The erasers must have come in handy, don’t you think? The event is free and open to all.

 On April 18, students at The Art Students League were fortunate to witness a terrific painting demonstration given by Joe Gyurcsak, Utrecht’s resident artist. Inspired to by the League’s history, Joe opted to focus on a still life in the manner of William Merritt Chase, one of the League’s notable professors. Joe drew his cues from Chase, who was famous for painting dead fish on a plate against a dark background. Freshly purchased from the New Jersey market, Joe immortalized his fish with beauty and grace as students learned the secrets to successful oil painting.
