About Japanese Haiga Workshop: A Harmony of Brush Painting and Poetry
Free event, no booking necessary but please note admission is on a first come first served basis. Age Suitability: 16+
Kindly supported by the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.
Explore Japanese haiga 俳画 painting and the traditional materials and brushwork techniques used, in a friendly introductory event. Haiga 俳画 uniquely brings together both suibokuga 水墨画 painting methods (also known as sumi-e 墨絵 painting) and haiku 俳句 poetry, on a single sheet of Japanese paper. Enjoy the feel of brushing on the soft paper and combining wet and dry brushwork.
This workshop aims to promote an understanding of haiga 俳画 as a distinct form of Japanese art encompassing both pictorial and literary elements. Certain haiga 俳画 works are informed by zen themes and haiku 俳句 brevity, expressed with minimal brushwork, such as by artist Takebe Sōchō (1761-1814).
Workshop leader Shōgen Blair will guide you step by step, working with the materials and inspired by haiga 俳画 examples. You will learn which brushes and ink to use and have an insight into the visual approaches that haiga 俳画 and suibokuga 水墨画 artists take.
No previous experience is needed, and all materials are provided. If you would like to find out more about our previous Japanese arts events, please visit: drawingandpaintingstudio.com
