Sumi-E, or black ink painting, is a style of asian brush painting emphasizing simplicity of linework, exploring the nature of grey and black washes on white paper. Deceptively simple looking, sumi artwork is much more complex than it appears - taking a complex image or shape and expressing it in serene, suggested lines. I love the meditative quality of working only with a brush and ink, capturing the stylized essences of wildlife in this beautiful, unique medium.
