“Zen Painting with Ink” Interview with Larkin Green
Patricia Larkin Green Sumi-e Artist
Sumi-e with Patricia Larkin Green (click link for full interview)
Patricia Larkin Green is a fine artist and skilled sumi-e ink painter. We were curious about this 2000 year-old art form, and she was more than happy to talk about it with us. We learned how its philosophy, “Less is more,” informs her life today. She describes sumi-e as, “zen painting with ink” — a technique where art meets meditation. Read on for more details about this ancient practice of monks and Samurais. Creative Brunch: Sumi-e Workshop (1-Day)

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.
