On a Tuesday night, creativity took flight as students gathered for a unique event: a duck decoy painting. The brushes, paint, and decoys provided allowed the attendees to showcase their talents in a myriad of styles, from realistic renditions to imaginative pop culture icons. With an array of paints at their disposal, each hue meticulously selected to mimic the iridescence of feathers, attendees embarked on their artistic journey. From bold brushstrokes to delicate detailing, every stroke breathed life into the decoys, infusing them with personality and charm. Some of the characters instilled into the ducks were the infamous Spiderman, Batman, and the wonderful state of Texas. Each decoy is a testament to the imagination and skill of its creator.
"It's incredible to see how everyone has put their own spin on these decoys and let their imagination run free." -Brooke Phillips, a Penn State Wildlife and Fisheries Undergraduate Student and Chairman of the PSU DU Club.
Throughout the evening, the room hummed with the motion of brushes against decoys. Attendees exchanged tips and techniques, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and collaboration. Laughter, mingled with the scent of paint, created an atmosphere brimming with warmth on the cold night.
"It was super fun!” -Luke Savoy, a Penn State Neuro-Biology Undergraduate Student.
As the event drew to a close, attendees bid farewell to their newfound friends. They carried with them not just decoys, but memories of a Tuesday night filled with laughter, friendship, and the joy of artistic expression.
