Quinn will teach the art of Sumi-e and Chinese Brush Painting.  All levels welcome.  Sumi-e Painting, more generally refered to as Oriental brush painting, includes Korean, Chinese and Japanese (Sumi-e) brush painting.  Sumi-e is rooted in a tradition over two thousand years old. In Japan, the Zen priests first practiced this art to improve their spirituality and meditation through artistic concentration, inspiration and perfection.
