SUMMARY:Seaside Series: Frederica Marshall
DESCRIPTION:Sumi-e Painting Demonstration\nFrederica Marshall will present a demonstration of the ancient art of sumi-e\, Asian brush painting. This medium uses the Four Treasures: ink stick\, grinding stone\, brush\, and paper. There are 270 brushstrokes in the sumi-e artist’s tool box. The basic strokes were originally used for Chinese calligraphy then adapted for painting subjects. This simple and elegant method can be used for painting every subject.  It is practiced around the world. She loves to paint Deer Isle in sumi-e. It reminds her of her home in Japan. \nFrederica Marshall lived in Japan for 28 years and gained a deep understanding of Japanese art and culture. She teaches sumi-e\, watercolor\, Asian calligraphy\, ikebana\, and haiku\, and she is a kamishibai storyteller. She has taught more than 23\,000 students across many institutions\, including for LA Metro College and Ringling College of Art. She serves on the board of the Sumi-e Society of America and is a founding member of the Haiku Project and an active member of the Deer Isle Writers’ Group. She has won international and national awards for her sumi-e and watercolor paintings. She has a gallery and art school at 81 North Deer Isle Road\, where she finds great enrichment in developing the creativity of her students. Learn more about Frederica on her website.
