Sumi-E Japanese Painting is simply brush and ink on paper with an emphasis on the beauty of each individual stroke of the brush.
It is not about creating a photographic likeness of an object or scene in front of you but rather it is about capturing the spirit of nature. The Sumi-e classes at Thin Ice begin with a short, guided meditation to calm you and help to release your inner creativity. Differing from other painting classes, when you leave the Sumi-e class at Thin Ice, you will leave not with one painting bearing the likeness or similarity to an object or image but instead you will leave with several paintings, each different and each focusing on your own creative expression and individual brush strokes.
This is a great creative outlet that relaxes you while also energizing the creative parts of your brain and putting you in touch with nature. No experience is necessary. Cost is $25 and includes all materials and instruction. Call 716-881-4321 to sign up or with any questions.
