Très beaux gestes!

Question: how do you prevent the paper from bulging because of the moisture of the ink? Do you buy special paper?

If I use regular rice paper I have serious problems with the bulging

@NulTien

I have never used rice paper, but I saw someone pour ink from the main jar to 3 different jars (smaller than the main jar), and watered the 3 jars down little by little to create light medium and dark ink. Doing that will help you from having to use too much water, besides practice.

I wanna know what type of pain/ink you're using T_____T

[kazushimura]

@XaldBalghostriped

HI, ink is called Indian ink or Chinese ink. We call it 'sumi' in Japanese :) It is made from pain tree ash.

Ars est celare artem. A tranquil piece of work.

Great work! However I was very confused at first because I found this video when looking for e-ink, you know tech stuff. :-)

[mongoingo]

How you painted that last leaf is simply brilliant I think. The stem moving into leaf in one small movement, I smiled and shook my head, I really was amazed. I need to try that.

I saw the irises at Meiji Jingu Gyoen and took many photographs. There are more than 150 varieties of iris there! It's wonderful to learn how to paint them by watching your video.

[gusphraba]

Everytime I see the big stack of crumpled paper next to my desk I wonder why I keep trying to do Sumi-e, but when I see your videos I know why. I think it's great to watch you ignoring the phone. Thanks for the video!

[overlycreative]
