Sumi-e is Japanese ink painting, a simple and direct way of expressing yourself with black ink and, where you wish, other colours. The tradition flourished in Japan in the mid-14th century, when it was especially practised by Zen Buddhist monks.
The course covers the basics of working with brushes, ink and paper in Japanese ink painting. For those who have painted Sumi-e before, there is also a session on working with colour. Sumiko Knudsen guides each participant individually through the work, adapting to their needs. No prior experience is needed.
