SUMMARY:Sumi-e -The Art of Japanese Brush Stroke
DESCRIPTION:This session will introduce you to the ancient art of Japanese 
 brush stroke - Sumi-e. 10:30 - 4:30 All materials provided - You are invit
 ed to bring along your own sketchbook to work in if you wish\, but differe
 nt types of paper will be provided. This is monochromatic illustration tec
 hnique which originated in China and introduced to Japan in the fourteenth
  century. We will start by looking at the traditional techniques and brush
 strokes using Indian ink and brushes. We will create more representational
  marks by learning how to paint some of the ‘four nobles’ of Sumi-e: b
 amboo\, orchids\, chrysanthemum and cherry blossom. We will then try out m
 ore mark-making techniques using natural objects and handmade brushes. Thi
 s is an exciting way explore new ways of drawing and will hopefully allow 
 you to add to or completely invent a new visual language. Participants wil
 l be encouraged to complete a more sustained piece of work\, drawing on so
 me visual references from still life and photographs\, although this is no
 t obligatory. You will hopefully leave with several studies and one planne
 d drawing. You are invited to bring along your own sketchbook to work in i
 f you wish\, but different types of paper will be provided. About Jade: Fo

 hed illustrative fine artist focusing on folklore\, herblore and literary
