Sumi Paintings

                by Craig Houghton

 

I've recently been enjoying doing Japanese brush style paintings. I've matched the elements of the Sumi-e style that I enjoy, the reduction and simplicity, with modern archival materials and techniques. The paper is Winsor and Newton Hot Press and the paint is of my making using gum arabic binder and pure pigments by Sennelier and Gamblin. Thanks for looking.
