June 13 Saturday / Meticulous Sumi-e on Silk Workshop
If this workshop is sold out, please email [email protected], Miki will add you to our waitlist and let you know when new workshop dates are released.
Time: 2:00PM- 4:30PM
Location: Showroom in South Melbourne
Hosted by Emi Kamataki
Discover the elegant world of Meticulous Sumi-e, a "fine-line" painting style known as Gongbi. Unlike the spontaneous splashes of traditional ink wash, this style focuses on delicate outlines and multiple layers of translucent colour to create a refined, opulent finish on silk.
Guided by Sensei Emi, you will learn how this traditional Chinese technique was embraced and refined within Japanese aesthetics. Whether you are painting vibrant flora or intricate fauna, this class is a meditative journey into patience, precision, and the subtle beauty of silk.
What You'll Experience:
- The Meticulous Method: Master the fundamentals of Gongbi, focusing on tidy, detailed outlines and layered washes.
- Silk & Ink: Discover the unique tactile experience of painting on silk shikishi (specialist art board) versus traditional paper.
- Mindful Practice: Engage in a calming, meditative process that encourages a deep connection with every brushstroke.
- Expert Guidance: Learn from an award-winning artist whose lineage traces back to masters who studied the Gongbi style in China.
- INCLUDES: Completed silk shikishi artwork to take home!
