BRUSH AND INK WITH RICHARD LIDDICUT

Short Courses in Japanese Ink Painting and Calligraphy

Traditional Japanese calligraphy and many techniques of sumi painting
require the practitioner to follow a prescribed choreography of ink,
brush, paper, posture and breath. This develops a deeper mindfulness,
a refinement of perception and a focussing of one’s innate energies.
This approach will be complimented with recognition of each student’s
uniqueness and a chance for them to improvise with brush and ink.
