--Seattle Book Review

With a few strokes of brush and ink, you can paint charming animals from pandas to swallows and rabbits to dragons with this introductory book to the traditional art of Asian painting called sumi-e.

Creative children and curious adults will have fun learning the magic of sumi-e with the simple techniques illustrated in Super Simple Sumi-e. Learn how to make various sumi-e brush strokes and how to create animals, flowers, and bamboo with this friendly, easy-to-follow guide. Sumi-e means "ink picture" in Japanese.
