【Online Fude-pen Ink Painting Group Lesson by donation】 日本語
On the second weekend of every month.
I use Zoom to share my slide show to explain the authentic painting techniques of Sumi-e, as well as how you would apply the painting techniques to a calligraphy pen (Fude-pen). You will view my slide show to learn how to paint in a step by step manner and make your own artwork. In addition to a PC camera, I also use a smartphone camera to show my brush strokes up-close to make it easier for you to understand how to move your pen.
Lastly, we will see each other’s paintings on screen to share creative joy. If you cannot prepare a calligraphy pen (Fude-pen), you can also use a brush with black watercolor or acrylic as a substitute. One-off participation is welcomed.
Do not worry if you have an aversion to painting. You will learn how to paint stroke by stroke, so it will be easy to follow. And you won't be asked to duplicate a sample painting, but you can create your own artwork using an original composition.
Students in all ages and countries are welcomed, including children.
