Chinese Brush Painting Sumi-e Online Art Course
Tutored by Monika Cilmi BA, MA, PGCE.
The Chinese Brush Painting Course is a Certificate Course.
With its sweeping lines and haunting, fragile style, this ancient oriental art form is a fantastic subject of study. With our expert tuition, advice and support, you can learn the intricacies and delicacies of this wonderful painting technique.
Immerse yourself in the beautiful oriental art of Chinese Brush Painting. Study with a professional artist as your tutor who will give valuable feedback on your coursework. The course is supported with videos.
Also known as Sumi-e (in Japanese) or Shui-mo Hua (in Chinese), it is
the art of using simple and effortless brush strokes to give an
impression of a figure or scene. It’s an artform quite unlike any other,
with an evocative and exquisite look that is inspired by the sweeping
curves of nature.
Although delicate in its execution, Sumi-e is deceptively difficult to master. Taught by oriental art specialist Monica Cilmi, this detailed and comprehensive written course will teach you everything you need to know about oriental brushwork and character study. There are three videos covering the materials needed, grinding the ink and holding the brush and basic brush strokes.
It's a distance learning course so you're free to paint, learn and enjoy the work at your own pace in the comfort of your own home.
The course is suitable for students new to this styles, but some previous drawing experience is advisable.
Few art forms are as rewarding and captivating as Sumi-e. As part of this course, you'll delve into the rich history and origins of this fascinating subject. Moreover, this course provides you with the opportunity to master the techniques of Chinese brush painting, with the added benefit of receiving valuable feedback from a dedicated tutor on your coursework.
