Domestika – ‌Watercolor Illustration with Japanese Influence

Give your drawings an ancient identity with the Sumi-e painting technique. Sumi-e is a monochrome illustration technique centered around the use of India ink which originated in China and was introduced in Japan in the mid-fourteenth century. Flor Kaneshiro is an Argentine illustrator with Okinawan roots who specializes in this art form. Her drawings have been exhibited in Argentina, Japan, China, Peru, and the United States, and she has collaborated with publishers such as Quipu, Periplo Ediciones, and Palabras Aladas.

In this course, Flor teaches you everything you need to know about Sumi-e and how to create your own illustrations by combining the basics of watercolors with Japanese-style brushstrokes.
