What you'll learn in this painting class:

If you are looking for a therapeutic time for yourself, or fun activities at home, please join our ink painting Sumi-e class!

Here are a few things you will need to prepare for the class:

  1. Liquid Sumi Ink
  2. Sumi-e (or Calligraphy) brush(es).
  3. Washi Paper (rice paper) and Newsprint paper are preferable. However, any paper is fine for a beginner.
  4. A couple of  containers with water.

  6. Paper towel (or rag)

Classes will be held via the Zoom Video Conferencing application, a private Zoom link will be sent to participants before the class begins.

Sumi-e, also called Suibokuga, is the art of ink wash-painting. Characteristically, it is an East Asian art, and has been practiced there for well over a thousand years. Sumi-e depicts the spirit or essence of an object or scene rather than its outward appearance — and does so in the fewest possible strokes. Because of this simplicity, the painter’s character and personality come through in his/her work. In both viewing and creating, Sumi-e is a very contemplative form of painting.

In this class at RESOBOX, a Japanese cultural center in New York, all students will start from the basics of ink-wash painting, such as how to hold a brush.

The theme of the class is:

March: A Small Bird (Uguisu) perched on a plum twig

April: Cherry Blossom and Mt. Fuji or a Butterfly

I loved the Instructor. She gave great suggestions on what tools are best to use. I am a beginner, so I found the ideas useful. I would love to take another one of her classes.
