Sumi-e Painting of Clover Leaf Using “Luck” Calligraphy

Prerequisite: The Way of Calligraphy in Shodo or Sumi-e Painting

In this video/class I am demonstrating my process for Sumi-e painting of the four leaf clover, using the strokes of the Chinese/Japanese “Luck” character.

I am assuming that you already have a background in Sumi-e painting and hopefully are familiar with my fundamental teachings. If not, you will find information about the tools, the preparation of the space and the self in the courses entitled “Essentials for Learning Sumi-e Painting” and “Meditation with the Brush” My method is very specific and understanding it will give you a great advantage in creating vibrant Sumi-e paintings.
