Japanese ink
Sumi-e is the ancient art of Japanese brush painting. Traditionally, paintings feature subjects from nature, such as flowers and birds.
You will learn to feel and capture the meaning of objects from nature with your interpretation then you will express the objects variously with brush pressure, rhythm, tones and confidence in your strokes. There is much more to creating an image during the process of Japanese ink painting; it is also meditative practice.
The experience of Sumi-e brings a sense of peace and harmony to the artist, and finished artworks are created to arouse the same sense of joy and tranquility in the viewer.
All materials including brushes included

Intro to Acrylics and Colour
In this class, students will explore the fundamentals of color, tone, shade, and value—essential elements for discovering your unique artistic voice. If you've ever found your palette to be muddy, this class will guide you in matching your reference images with greater ease.
We'll create two sets of primary color wheels, enabling you to mix nearly any color you desire. You'll learn how to approach each new artwork with a fresh perspective and select colors that achieve your intended results.
In the final sessions, you will use your personally developed palette to create an original piece, equipping you with the tools to further enhance your color knowledge. For returning students, we’ll build upon your existing techniques and painting skills throughout the term.
This class is designed for beginners as well as those looking to revisit the basics to invigorate their work.
