So, I have been keeping pretty busy lately. Midterms were this week, and before that was spring break in Korea, and so either way I haven't made the time to sit for a few hours on the computer and upload both here and to the travel journal. Hopefully this week I can burn some time doing more than posting the latest sumi-e and my best sketchbook work here. A few more octopuses, some flowers, and experimentation.
























This week we learned techniques for painting/drawing plum blossoms. I also asked my teacher about water/fuzz techniques for doing animals. I also tried it out on a few pieces of pre-matted sumi pages as well as the plain paper we use in class. The pre-matted sumi pages were a little different, so I tried other techniques, also.
