Joan Lok

Workshop Description:

The morning session will introduce the fundamentals of sumi-e and includes the painting of morning glory in minimal brushwork.  Joan will discuss sumi-e materials, different kinds of basic brush work, how to hold and load the brush with multiple colors and ink graduation, and how to deliver a full petal or blade of leaf in simple brushstrokes.  We will apply our knowledge and paint morning glory with climbing vines. 

The afternoon session will paint koi and carp in multiple patterns.  Joan will explain the anatomy of koi and the placement of fins and scales as we will create them freehand.  She will cover the use of wet on dry and wet on wet for shadow effect, and how to use opaque white (gouache) to bring out the scales.  She will also share a special tip so beginners can produce convincing results from the start.
