Sumi-e 80 g/m², Asian Painting Techniques Block, 30x40 cm, 20 fls

This paper was developed especially for Japanese painting "Sumi-e". Hahnemühle Sumi-e paper is very absorbent and ideal for freestyle painting. "Sumi" means "black ink", and "e" means both "path" and "painting." The brush painting style is a simple yet highly aesthetic design made with powerful lines, most continuous and quickly executed. Inner patience and harmony are essential for capturing the object spirit in brush-painting. Sumi-e is therefore not only a painting technique coming from Asia, but also a form of spiritual therapy and relaxation. Sumi-e painting evolved in the 5th century from Chinese calligraphy. Your main themes are connected with nature. In the 12th century, Zen monks brought technique to Japan, where to this day Sumi-e painting has strong influence on people's lifestyle. This painting technique has been rapidly spreading around the world, and Hahnemühle FineArt provides the ideal paper for its achievement. Acid free, ph neutral, high resistance to aging and vegan. Available in block sizes 9x12 and 12x16 in sheets in 50x65.
