What you'll do
If you're looking for creative things to do at home or want to carve out some therapeutic time for yourself, join this virtual ink painting workshop!Sumi-e, also called Suibokuga, is the art of ink wash-painting. Characteristically, it is an East Asian art and has been practiced there for well over a thousand years. Sumi-e depicts the spirit or essence of an object or scene rather than its outward appearance — and does so in the fewest possible strokes.Because of this simplicity, the painter’s character and personality come through in their work. In both viewing and creating, Sumi-e is a very contemplative form of painting. If you're looking for mindful art practices or ways to unwind, this meditative art might be just what you're looking for.Your virtual art workshop is held over live stream so you can tune in from the comfort of your own home. You will start from the basics of ink-wash painting, such as how to hold a brush. All you need to do is supply the materials, and your instructor will teach you how to make your masterpiece. This hands-on online workshop is great for virtual team-building activities, where you and your colleagues will enjoy some creative time, learn a new skill, and practice a peaceful art form.

Recent reviews of Learn Sumi-e Japanese Ink Painting at Home
- 5/5 from Penny Pierson, attended Sep 2025: The class was great! Our instructor was very excellent. She provided great instruction and was very personable. My family purchased a private class to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We all had fun time and learned a new painting technique. Can’t wait to take future classes with Kofhu Furukawa.
- 5/5 from Amy Russo, attended Jan 2025: This was our first class and it was exciting to be able to try so many different techniques. The class was a little fast but the teacher was always open for questions and was very happy to go back and re-demonstrate things. I would recommend this if you want to try ink painting at home
- 5/5 from Mina Lee, attended Jan 2025: Super informative and fun. I learned all this new techniques whereas before I was only improving. To purposely learn how to layer black on grey or grey on black was so cool. It made learning less intimidating by doing it together.
- 5/5 from Dan Vonlongdong, attended Dec 2024: This was one of the best gifts I’ve ever received! The teacher was absolutely wonderful! So patient and informative. I learned to much and had so much fun!! Thank you thank you!!
- 5/5 from Samuel Corliss, attended Dec 2023: Every family member enjoyed the class and the instructor. word word word word word word
- 5/5 from Ron Landis, attended Jul 2023: Excellent instruction of Sumi-e techniques. I now have more arrows of knowledge in my quiver to use with my drawings. Arogato
