The Bamboo
The first sumi-e ink painting class on October 17th, 2024 began, focusing on bamboo, one of the key subjects.
The teacher demonstrated how to grind the ink stick on the ink stone, offering tips on creating smooth gradients with each brushstroke. By explaining how to use the strength of the elbow to guide the brush, the teacher encouraged students to express their feelings and create their own unique bamboo designs.
