The Way of the Brush
Capturing the essence of life
“Before you paint a bamboo, let it grow within you. Then, with your brush in hand and your gaze focused, you will see the whole, exact vision appear before you. Seize this vision with your brush strokes, as swiftly as a hunting hawk swoops down on a hare ready to pounce! A moment’s hesitation and the vision vanishes.”
Su Tung-Po, translated by François Cheng, in Souffle-Esprit
Passing on a tradition
The resonance of breath gives life and movement to the painting.
Learning is done by copying, not only the forms but also the moral values conveyed by the teacher.
Acquire a trade, a means of expression
Are you planning a career change and have a skill or interest in teaching and/or painting?
Are you a professional artist who wants to master Indian ink?
Are you simply interested in the satisfaction of practicing sumi-e at your own pace?
Find out about long and short workshops
Long and short workshops follow the rhythm of the school year.
If you are a professional trainee, you agree to attend all workshops. If you can’t attend a workshop, the rest of your year is postponed accordingly.
If you are a leisure participant, you choose the dates and location that suit you from the calendar.
