What is Sumie?
🇾🇪 Sumie is een van de meest populaire inktborsteltechnieken in Aziatische landen zoals Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong en Zuid-Korea.
De afbeeldingen die door Sumi (zwarte inkt) zijn getekend, worden in Japan over het algemeen “Suiboku-ga” of “Sumi-e” genoemd. Er wordt gezegd dat “Sumi-e” de meest populaire manier is om in het buitenland te zeggen.
Sumi-e gebruikt in principe alleen zwarte inkt, maar gebruikt soms ook een klein beetje andere pigmenten. (Sumi-e met andere pigmenten wordt Bokusaiga genoemd.)
Sumi-e kwam uit China met Zen in de 13e eeuw. En daarna heeft Sumi-e zijn eigen ontwikkeling gemaakt in Japan.
Over de schildertechnieken gebruikt de Sumie verschillende technieken van gradatie, schaduw, uitvloeiing, vervaging. Dergelijke technieken kunnen worden verkregen door de hoeveelheid water die aan de inkt wordt toegevoegd te veranderen. Ik weet zeker dat je helemaal opgaat in het beheersen van deze techniek.
🇺🇸 Sumie is one of the most popular ink brush painting techniques in Asian countries such as Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea.
The pictures drawn by Sumi (black ink) are generally called “Suiboku-ga” or “Sumi-e” in Japan. It is said that “Sumi-e” is the most popular way of saying overseas.
Sumi-e basically uses only black ink but sometimes uses a little bit of other pigments as well. (Sumi-e with other pigments is called Bokusaiga.)
Sumi-e came from China with Zen in 13th century. And after then, Sumi-e has made its own development in Japan.
About the painting techniques, the Sumie uses various techniques of gradation, shading, bleeding, blurring. Such techniques can be obtained through changing the amount of water added to the ink. I’m sure you will be absorbed in mastering this technique.
How about Sumie Painting instead of meditation?
In de moderne samenleving heeft technologie ons leven gemakkelijk gemaakt.
Ironisch genoeg hebben mensen het echter drukker dan vroeger.
Toen zijn moderne mensen gaan beseffen hoe belangrijk het is om de “concentratie” te herwinnen die wordt gedeeld door de toename van technologie en de hoeveelheid informatie.
Dit is de reden waarom mindfulness tegenwoordig de aandacht trekt.
Mindfulness is een van de manieren om je vredig en kalm te laten voelen door je te concentreren op “het huidige moment” en is geboren uit Zen.
Trouwens, Google, Intel, Apple, enz. nemen nu mindfulness-meditatie op in bedrijfstrainingen, maar aan de andere kant, degenen die mindfulness-meditatie hebben gedaan, weten al hoe moeilijk het is om 10 minuten per dag te zitten en te mediteren.
De reden is dat de focus van mindfulness-meditatie “ademen” is.
Mensen vervelen zich binnen een paar minuten, zelfs als ze zich proberen te concentreren op “ademen”, “wat moet ik vandaag eten”, “ik moet mijn e-mail checken”, “een wandeling met mijn hond…” enzovoort, de gedachten beginnen weg te lopen.
Dan geven mensen het op: “Ik kan geen mindfulness doen.”
Goed nieuws voor jou.
Wat dacht je van Sumie Schilderen in plaats van meditatie?
In Sumie Painting ligt de focus op “het huidige moment” niet op “ademen” maar op “Schilderen”.
We zullen elke keer een onderwerp voor je voorbereiden.
Met “Tekenen” kunt u zich soepel en moeiteloos concentreren op “nu”.
In modern society, technology has made our lives convenient.
However, ironically, people are actually busier than they used to be.
Then, modern people have begun to realize how important it is to regain the “concentration” that is divided by the increase in technology and the amount of information.
This is the reason why mindfulness has been attracting attention these days.
Mindfulness is one of the ways to make you feel peaceful and calm by focusing on “the present moment” and was born from Zen.
By the way, Google, Intel, Apple, etc. are now incorporating mindfulness meditation into corporate training, but on the other hand, those who have done mindfulness meditation already know how difficult it is to sit and meditate for 10 minutes a day.
The reason is that the focus of mindfulness meditation is “breathing”.
People get bored in a few minutes even if they try to concentrate on “breathing”, “what should I eat today”, “I have to check my email”, “A walk with my dog…” and so on, the thoughts begin to run away.
Then, people give up, “I can’t do mindfulness.”
Good news for you.
How about Sumie Painting instead of meditation?
In Sumie Painting, the focus on “the present moment” is not “breathing” but “Painting”.
We will prepare a topic for you every time.
“Drawing” allows you to concentrate on “now” smoothly without effort.

TESTIMONIALS
Miriam T
It’s been really nice to explore a set of techniques in painting with black ink! I keep on wondering about the power of suggestion that can be achieved by such simple methods! Thematically the course is very diverse. With confidence I can say that I will attain my personal goals because of this. Thank you very much!

I’ve learned a lot during the LAK course and the 2 years of Sumi-e lessons. I have to say that It was quite a journey and sometimes I struggled with even the simplest brushstrokes, but It’s all worth it in the end. Because you’ll leave with some pretty nice artworks, if I say so myself. Thank you so much, you’re a great teacher!
