Join Warren County ARTS on Saturday, June 14th, 1-3pm for Sumi-e Tempera Resist Painting workshop with Pamela Dulaff. Oxford Municipal Building, 11 Green St., Oxford NJ. Members Free, Non-members $25. All materials provided. Beginners or experienced, adults 18+ yrs. Class size limit=20.

Experience expressive East Asian-style brush painting through a simple pattern design and masking process. The practice of Sumi-e is meditative, mindful and an expression of the present moment. There is a flow and rhythm to brush painting, Each movement- from holding the brush, loading the ink and the speed and pressure applied to each stroke- demands focus and control.
In the Japanese process of Tsutsugaki, watersoluble rice paste is used to brush patterns on cloth, which is then dyed and rinsed. Similar to the well-known technique of batik, simple masking and dying cycles produce complex designs, without heat or the signature cracking formed by cooling wax. For this lesson, the medium that will serve as a resist is washable tempera paint. Colored and India inks will replace the dyes used in traditional batik and tsutsugaki. Painters will be encouraged to practice and focus on a simple design, emphasizing repetition and pattern while familiarizing themselves with the capabilities of the sumi brush.
Class size limited to 20. All materials needed (except aprons) will be supplied. However you are welcome to bring your own materials if so desired. This is what we'll be using: Black waterproof ink, Sumi brush (size 2), Canson Watercolor paper 140LB, White Sulphite drawing paper, Washable Tempera Paint (one color is fine), Acrylic water-resistant Artists Inks (your choice of colors), Palette, Water container.
