Bought a Sumi-e set last week and this is the first actual piece I tried with the set.
It takes forever to get a dark colour, so I ended up cheating a little in some parts with black ink. I've seen dark dark pics of sumi art, so most likely my sticks aren't that great in quality. Need to make plenty plenty ink from the sticks to use the brushes properly, but I like it. Go try again today for sure ( well once I finish market, cleaning, cooking, ironing, sewing, bathing the dogs, watching cricket........... uhhhh on second though I will see LOL )......... update, hmm with endless rain, place COLD, I guess I do have time to paint, hehe !!!
Just a simple Bamboo painting ( lol sumi art of bamboo, the only thing less original is one of a koi or Mt. Fuji !!! )
Doh mind the weird flower, I was trying to get rid of the excess water from the stick and was kinda feathering it......... but not really.
