Basics of Japanese Sumi-e Painting

Sumi-e is a Japanese ink painting style. The technique is based on calligraphy, and the image is constructed from a combination of energetic brushstrokes and soft ink washes on absorbent paper, making it unlike other painting techniques. Sumi-e artists do... not strive to depict an object realistically, but merely show its essence, focusing on the main aspects. Today, Japanese culture and painting are increasingly attracting people's attention, and the traditional practice of sumi-e continues to develop, finding more and more followers around the world. This guide will help you learn to handle the brush, improve your drawing skills, and grasp the basics of Japanese sumi-e painting.
