The artist depicts the essence of what he or she is trying to portray with as few brushstrokes as possible—simply and elegantly, but with strength in each line or shade.
Sumi-e is a mindfulness meditation. It is a metaphor for our journey through life, a way to grow spiritually, one brushstroke at a time. Join renowned Sumi-e artist Roslyn Levin and learn this beautiful Japanese art form in the heart of downtown Orangeville!
Over the course of six classes, learn how to paint a variety of flora and fauna including those pictured here in the class description.
