Continuing Sumi Painting

INSTRUCTOR: LOIS YOSHIDA

Experience the flowing techniques of Japanese sumi painting while exploring creative forms of self-expression.  Sumi (black ink) will be the primary medium used in painting images of nature as well as optional interpretations in color.  Traditional tools, materials, brush methods, and approaches to subject matter will be further explored.  Students will also be introduced to brush calligraphy, the ancient art form from which Sumi painting evolved.  Students will learn to simplify visual elements by using minimal brush strokes and are encouraged to experiment in expressing their individual interpretations of various subjects.  Prerequisite: previous Sumi experience helpful.  Supply list available online.

MONDAYS, 4/25 - 6/6, 9AM-12PM, PRINT STUDIO
