水墨画 桜 Cherry Blossom Sumi-e

The spring blows in the wind. We call the strong wind in February "Haru Ichi-ban",(litterally the First Spring, meaning the wind which blows very early in the spring) and know the winter has almost gone.
Then, the cherry blossom season will come in April. Schools starts new year, the fiscal year of most companies in Japan starts. April is the special month for us to recall the nervous feeling in the new class start. Cherry blossom is the symbol of these.
Tips:

Cherry blossom could be tough motif for some of you, especially the shape of each flower. Too round looks like the plum and too much oval looks something diffrent. ONe of important technique of sumi-E is "omitting", "cut middle" or whatever you're saying (sorry, I have merely funny words). I mean, the cherry blossom has five piece of petal but you don't need paint all of that... more tips please go to my blog,,,short of this space

Talk during video if possible to explain what you are doing. Video is great, I would like to understand more of the ink shades used and strokes that I cannt clearly see.

@theIRISHnewYOKA The best way I know how to describe it is that it's similar (not exactly the same, though) to water color.
