Ink painting (also called “Chinese Watercolour”, “Sumi-e” or “Sumukhwa” …etc.) is very popular in Asia for more than a thousand years. Many masters and styles of painting emerged and it continues to grow globally today. It is an Art form that is unique where calligraphy is taken as the foundation in contrast to the Western Tradition where drawing is the foundation instead. After having mastered the basics, an Artist could continue to pursue the Art in more depth or attempt to adapt what they have learned into their own original creation. The skills one learned in Ink painting could be used as a form of relaxation, children art, craft or serious production of original art.
Our classes begin with emphasis on the introduction of solid skills based on a proven traditional approach of teaching-and-learning. However, we are not limited by tradition and adjustments were made so that there is no pre-requisite of knowing the Chinese Language or Calligraphy as it would had been assumed in traditional context.
流行於中國、日本、韓國等地方，水墨畫在一千多年以來出現了不少名家和畫風。身為一個獨立的畫種，它和以素描為基礎的西洋畫是很不一樣的。在另一方面，也出現不少畫家以中西融合的方向癹展。學會了水墨畫，其用處可說廣泛又變化無窮。
我們注重以傳統為基礎，但又不被它限制。我們一樣的歡迎沒有中文和書法基本的好學者。
