Ever since I came back from the Japan trip, I've been learning about sumi-e brush techniques. I'm still getting the hang of it, and getting used to how you're supposed to hold the brush is a little challenging. I also used the ink sticks to make the ink, which was also new and fun. I think next time I'll work on landscapes. I like how much they imply things like trees and rock formations with different types of brush strokes. It's very minimalistic and elegant, and I'd like to be able to do it. There will probably be more experiments with this later on, it's a nice occasional break from school projects.
