Description

Sumi-e Painting 

Of all its artistic traditions of Japan we find the understated art of Sumi-e to be our favourite.  Dating back as far as the mid-14th century, clean aesthetics combine with a single palette, turning white-space into part of the finished painting.  It's a timeless form of art deeply rooted at seeing the essence of the subject.

 

Join our Sumi-e workshops in our  studio, and fall in love with this deeply affirming art form and learn the basic strokes for traditional subjects like bamboo, peony, cherry blossoms or koi


Subject

14 Nov 2021 - Cherry Blossom 

20 Nov 2021 - Birds 


Each workshop allows you to practice one of the subjects taught for the week and create your own masterpiece towards the end of the lesson under Junko's guidance and an intentionally intimate format so that everyone can join in and actively participate.

 

Participants of Kami's Sumi-e Painting workshops will be familiar with the talent and passion Junko Azukawa offers during these classes:

 

“This was a wonderful class. Junko is a delightful, and engaging teacher. The class was fun and instructive and it was really nice to work with ink - my first time. Of course - she made it all look so effortless and easy. I recommend it.” - Joelle

“The Sumi-e Painting workshop today was delivered in a way that was easy to understand and the facilitator provided space for questions and comments. I found it easy to follow and I have learned some basic techniques to use that I will use. Loved the delivery of the equipment as well. Love my brushes, ink and rice paper. Thank you to the team.” - Evelyn

This class was a reminder about being still and in the moment. It was held online in the challenging circumstances of lockdown. It was beautiful. A chance to create and de-stress. Thank you so much to Junko- our wonderful teacher- and Jean - for making this class happen online and navigating all the logistics. Huge gratitude!

Junko san was so kind and taught us different techniques in clear instructions by using different angle cameras. Not only teaching us techniques but also telling us the stories of her deep love towards calligraphy and sumie as an artist was so impressed. Jean was really helpful and well organized to connect instructor and participants.
