Introduction to Sumi Painting


Explore creative forms of self-expression while experiencing the flowing techniques of sumi painting in this workshop for participants of all levels.  Sumi (black ink) will be the primary medium. Traditional tools, materials, brush methods, and approaches will be used.  Participants learn to simplify visual elements with minimal brush strokes and are encouraged to express their individual interpretation of the subjects presented.

Participants will be introduced to the traditional tools – handmade brush, sumi (ink), and handmade paper – used for sumi painting and will use them to apply approaches and techniques used in sumi painting. 

All experience levels are welcome.

All supplies will be provided.
