The Art of Sumi-e // A fish is talking art #9

in #art7 years ago (edited)

In November I discovered a video demonstrating the art of sumi-e (=ink wash painting in japanese) and I was intrigued by the one stroke dragons that are created with only ONE stroke (hence the title). Sumi-e artists have special calligraphy brushes for that practice but its not only about the equipment. The one stroke painting requires the artist to have a perfectly still mind with total intention and attention in the present moment. (Honshin)

This is my attempt at creating something that looks at least somewhat like the real sumi-e dragon:

I used regular brushes and acrylic paint. It was my first acrylic painting in years.

Its not even close to what sumi-e artists achieve. LOOK at THIS:


Mad respect for the artist Keisuke Teshima.

Does anybody want to sponsor me? I NEED A BRUSH LIKE THAT. And also that steadiness. Damn.

Beautiful! I love dragons. I wore a Vietnamese dragon pendant at the Viennese Steemit Meetup yesterday...

Hab das Video damals auch gesehen und dachte mir so: "wtf wie kann sowas funktionieren?"
Aber du beweist es grad, es geht! :D

aww danke, ich bin noch weit davon entfernt, das so gut hinzukriegen wie die professionellen, aber jeder muss irgendwo anfangen :D

One might almost call it a stroke of genius.

Great work!

It seems more like a beatiful plant with a something else.
But the dragon is also fine. :D

Depends on how much you need. And also depending on what you want to draw with it.
If it is going to be another beautiful plant with anything else I would spend more. ^^
