Experience the serenity of expression through the techniques of sumi painting in this class for all levels. Sumi (black ink) will be the primary medium used to express a variety of fruits and vegetables from the fall garden with possible interpretations in sumi watercolor. Traditional tools, materials, brush methods and approaches will be used. Students will learn to simplify visual elements by using minimal brush strokes and will be encouraged to explore their individual interpretation of these subjects.
