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.
