Join us on Friday, August 29th, at 3pm Pacific Time! In and of themselves, gyotaku, suminigashi, and ink pouring could be considered an art form. We will look at the synergy between these arts and brush painting, calligraphy, and sumi-e. They can be used as backgrounds for your paintings, creative elements of your paintings, or can even be a piece of artwork on its own.
