Description

Immerse yourself in the quiet Zen practice of ink brush painting. Sumi-e is an ancient Japanese art used by Buddhist monks as a meditation. It is the tradition of capturing the spirit of simple subjects using a minimal number of brushstrokes. You will be guided step by step in using a bamboo brush, black sumi ink, and rice paper. You do not need to already be an "artist" to do Sumi-e. Just let Sumi-e to allow you discover the artist that's already been INSIDE of you!

This month, the brushstroke demonstration is expressing the spirit of the water landscape in this quiet and meditative studio environment.
