Discover the Art of Sumi-e
The art of brush painting, aims to depict the spirit, rather than the semblance of the object. In creating a picture the artist must grasp the spirit of the subject. Sumi-e attempts to capture the Chi or 'life spirit' of the subject, painting in the language of the spirit.

”Art is both love and friendship and understanding: the desire to give. It is not charity, which is, the giving of things. It is more than kindness, which is the giving of self. It is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is a recreation on another plane of the realities of the world; the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and men, and of all the interrelations of these.”
Ansel Adams
