Enjoy an introduction to the traditional practice of Japanese ink painting called Sumi-e! You will learn how to prepare the ink for painting, how to correctly use the Sumi brush, and how to practice traditional movements and brushstrokes. In addition to this, Diana will teach what types of papers to use for this beautiful art form. There will be plenty of time for practicing the techniques, and you will create beautiful pieces that can be framed and displayed.
The beauty of this simplistic style of painting are the fundamental brush strokes of lines and dots. These techniques are centuries old and have been handed down from one master Sumi teacher to another. Sumi-e is a wonderful discipline that is very relaxing, and provides an artistic escape from our everyday hectic world.
