Japanese inkbrush painting. Show Date: April 1st through June, 27th 2024 Place: Puyallup City Hall (5th Floor)333 S. Meridian, Puyallup 98371 “I use traditional images using black ground sumi ink, but also incorporate Asian watercolors as well as creating collages and abstracts. A painting session begins by grinding a black Sumi stick made from pine soot and glue on a slate stone to make liquid ink. A bamboo animal hair brush is loaded with ink and applied to rice paper to form the subject matter. No sketching is done. Once the stroke is made, that’s it, it’s done.”
