I n this workshop hosted by CASS Art Kingston, participants will be introduced to the East Asian Art tradition of Ink wash painting, taught brushwork techniques, and create their own original Ink Painting artwork based on the 'Four Gentlemen' (四君子): Plum, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, and Orchid. We will be looking at various Japanese, Chinese, and Korean artists' depiction of the Four Gentlemen, and their expressive brushstrokes and compositions as a source of inspiration. Participants will be guided in detail as they explore the 'Four Treasures' : Brushes, Ink, Paper, and Ink stones (文房四寶: 筆、墨、紙、硯) and get the chance to try out different types of brushes, inks and Xuan ('rice paper').  Ink wash painting is a form of art that emerged during the Tang Dynasty in China as a reaction to earlier techniques that placed a heavy emphasis on detail and realism. Techniques and confucian philosophies further developed during the Song and Ming dynasties and spread across East Asia to Japan (墨絵 Sumi-e / 水墨画 Suiboku-ga) and Korea (수묵화 Sumookhwa).
