On June 16, 2020, I was asked to do a podcast as an invited artist talking about sumi for: "Let's Talk Art With Brooke". Doing a podcast was a new experience for me. I loved doing it and it was a lot of fun. I found Brooke to be a lovely person and very welcoming. If you have time to listen, I hope that you enjoy it.

Here is a link to the podcast: ( 30 minutes)

Sumi-e Watercolor Impressions

Morning by Casey

As many of you that read my posts over the years know, I am a college instructor as well as a sumi artist. Well, I have great news today! My grades were turned in yesterday at the college which has freed me up to do more art this summer. I am very excited about that!

These two Sumi-e Watercolor Impressions were created yesterday on the first day of my summer vacation. I hope you enjoy seeing them. Using watercolor paper, sumi (ink), and Japanese watercolors. My sketches are minimalist. My painting philosophy is "Less is More'. 

I was taught this way of thinking in art college when I attended Chouinard Art School in Los Angeles. It was in Mr. Moore's design class that I first learned it. That was a long time ago. However, as I progressed toward my passion of CBP (Chinese Brush Painting) or in Japan called Sumi-e, this way of thinking about painting stayed with me and has served me well.

 

These images are available from my Fine Art America site. 

 

If you have the time, I would love for you to visit my art website. It's quite nice!

Sumi Watercolor Sketches

Sumi Watercolor Sketches

Mt. Fuji at Summertime

by Casey Shannon

On a cold winters day, it's always nice to find a pleasant activity to do indoors. I am having a bit of fun today creating some sumi watercolor sketches. Using watercolor paper, sumi (ink), and Japanese watercolors. My sketches are minimalist. My painting philosophy is "Less is More'.

Here are a few of my sketches.
