Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sumi-e is the ancient art of Japanese brush painting. These evocative paintings, also known as ink pictures, traditionally feature subjects from the natural world such as flowers and birds. Using a minimum of brush strokes to convey the essence of a subject, sumi-e artists create delicate, elegant works of art that are universally appealing. Painting is a form of meditation that brings peace and harmony to the artist. The finished pieces are intended to inspire the same sense of tranquility and joy in the viewer. In The Simple Art of Sumi-e, you'll master all the techniques you'll need to know to create striking paintings and also learn the spiritual aspects of this unique art form. Fifteen lovely projects offer you the chance to put your new skills into practice. Create a set of ceramics decorated with falling leaves; a silk painting of floating flowers in the breeze; chopstick holders decorated with fish, flowers, and birds; a canvas cushion featuring rolling waves; and more. Stunning variations are provided for many of the projects. The Simple Art of Sumi-e includes calligraphic samples of 100 popular Western first names so that you can personalize your work, plus a series of greetings and haikus for you to use in your own projects. You will enjoy learning sumi-e and creating paintings for years to come.
