Japanese master Shozo Koike reveals all the secrets of sumi-e and teaches how to paint, step by step, 18 traditional subjects. Each model is complemented by photographs and a video accessible by OR code. Sumé-e is an art form that represents nature in all its spontaneity through the use of ink, water and paper, without any preparatory drawing. The brush is the instrument to fix the sumé (black ink) on the paper in all its gradations, the water allows it to be diluted to create nuances of varied intensities. The philosophy of sumé-e is revealed in the white space, bringing its harmony to the painted forms. Here we are in the world of black and white, and also that of shades of gray, able to render on paper the same sensations brought by colors. We do not paint to display our own talent, less to express our personality.
