Wabi-Sabi Ink Painting

Prerecorded video includes supply list, intro video and lesson in 2 parts.

Allow your hand and imagination free play as you work with ink and watercolor on paper to create abstract paintings.

Beginning with meditation and centering ourselves, we will get our whole body involved as we work from the heart to paint the ensō (the Zen practice of drawing a circle). Our guiding themes will be wabi-sabi: appreciating the beauty of imperfection, empty space: allowing the painting to breathe and qi: the living energy of the painting.

From the West, we will work with line, color, shape, movement, rhythm and other elements and principles of design. Here, our guiding themes will be value and contrast. The conversation with our pages will be “What is already happening, and what do I do next?”

Embrace the unknown as we explore abstract painting from both Eastern and Western perspectives to create several finished paintings. No art experience is needed.

Recording will be available for 3 months.

WHAT SHERRIE’S STUDENTS SAY

“I liked the zoom workshop, enjoyed being in my own studio and not having to drive anywhere.” –Shawn S.

“It was apparent Sherrie has a love of the subject and a talent for sharing this knowledge and love with her students.” – Janet G.

“I loved the workshop. It was rich with creative possibilities on how to the use different brushes, objects, inks and colored textures…Sherrie’s thorough planning gave me everything I needed to know to prepare for the class with materials and set up for the calligraphy. So I was already to start receiving instruction and begin learning about Wabi Sabi…I couldn’t believe I could produce so much work in so little time.” – Janet M.
