Description:
Asian Brush painting is a very gratifying and soothing form of art. Come experience this art form in a one-day workshop. We will study the Four Gracious Plants: bamboo, orchid leaf, plum blossom, and chrysanthemum. Brush painting is done with ink and watercolor on rice paper. Sometimes referred to as "Sumi-e" which is a Japanese term meaning "ink picture." Sumi-e allows you to get in touch with your inner self and it can give you many hours of joy.
