Discover the art of Japanese Sumi-E, or black ink painting, while exploring the rich history of Asian brush painting and how Sumi-E differs from Chinese styles. This class focuses on the "Four Gentlemen"—Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum—each representing a season and core brush techniques. While building on skills taught in The Art of Chinese Calligraphy, no prior experience is required. All students will receive a basic supply kit to take home, including felt, paper, a brush, and ink.
