Description
Spring has come!
Studying the four gentlemen (bamboo, orchid, chrysanthemum, and plum tree)
We can extend to paint more flowers. We will paint iris, daffodil and tulip. We will paint them with Sumi ink only and colors. We can enjoy painting more variety of subjects in Sumi-e: Birds, insects, or small creatures accompanied by flowers, trees, and vegetables. This lesson will paint “CHICKS UNDER PALM TREE LEAVES” and “JUMPING FROG
UNDER THE WILLOW BRANCH.” While we paint these subjects we will learn how to compose Sumi-e with empty space (silence) and painted space (motion).
