Our programs are made possible in part by the Delaware State Arts Council, and the Sussex County Council.
Come and join Al Demerich as he resumes his teaching of the ancient art of Sumi-e painting to all new and existing students.
The Philosophy of Sumi-e is contrast and harmony,expressing simple beauty and elegance. The balance
and integration of these forces and the eternal interaction of Yin Yang are the ultimate goal of Sumi-e.
The art of brush painting, aims to depict the spirit rather than the semblance of the object. In creating
a picture, the artist must grasp the Chi or Life spirit of the subject. By using ink freely with a controlled
brush stroke, capture the essence of the spirit of the subject, and evoke poetry of nature by creating beautiful lines and forms.
Patience is essential in brush painting. Balance, rhythm and harmony are the qualities the artist strives for by developing patience, self-discipline and concentration. The goal of the brush painter is to use the brush with both vitality and restraint, constantly striving to be a better person because his character and personality come through in his work.
Cost is $15 for members and $20 per class for non-members.
