This practical guide is perfect for those looking to try this
ancient art form for the first time! In this book, Japanese master
artist Shozo Koike reveals the simple secrets of Sumi-e, offering
step-by-step instructions with clear photographs and online video
tutorials showing you how to paint 19 traditional subjects. Sumi-e
is the meditative Japanese form of ink painting taught by Zen
Buddhist monks to encourage mindfulness and an awareness of our
surroundings. It uses only ink, water, a brush and paper to capture
natural objects and landscapes in a vivid, spontaneous fashion.
Koike begins with the basics--what to buy and how to prepare the
ink in a traditional inkstone. Next, he shows you how to practice
the 11 basic brushstrokes used for all Sumi-e paintings. The 19
traditional subjects taught in this book include: Flowers like
orchids, chrysanthemums, camellias, roses and peonies Plants and
fruits including bamboo, eggplants, grapes and chestnuts Animal
figures including small birds, butterflies, chicks, crabs and
goldfish Koike also explains the philosophy of Sumi-e, which
emerges from the use of negative white space to enhance the painted
forms. Readers will enter into a world not just of black and white,
but of infinite shades of gray which are capable of evoking all the
sensations of color using these techniques.
