Chicago Tribune: Sumi-e Asian Ink Painting
Sumi-e Ink Painting
Three Dahlias One Bee Sumi-e by Patricia Larkin Green
Patricia Larkin Green will demonstrate Sumi-e Ink painting. She is well known as a painter along with her skills in sumi-e ink painting. A turning point for her was learning to paint Sumi-e, (East Asian ink wash painting), where her goal is to capture the soul of the subject. When she paints a flower she is freed from reproduction and inspired to convey its movement and fragrance. Less is more. Her website is: patricialarkingreen.com.
