The simplicity of ink painting is one of the coolest aspects of it. There will be no shelf of art supplies required. All you have to have is a brush and ink, and then you can be as creative as you want. You will begin with strokes in the course, and then you will know how to manage the pressure and direction. It is not a precision matter though. It is all about being free in the brush and letting the ink have its way. And that is where the magic lies: the non-determinacy of the ink provides you with the opportunity to make something unexpected and astonishing.
The course is not going to teach you to paint just like that. It will teach you to see. Every lesson will challenge you to start looking more closely at the world, whether it is the light falling on a flower or how a stream of water moves. You will begin to notice the details, which you may have not noticed earlier. When you paint you will not be copying exactly those details but you will be telling how they felt to you. Every stroke will be your own understanding of what or what not it is, it could be either a calm or an energy moment. It is not about creating a perfect imitation, but something more substantial.
We all have a lot of fun with the imperfect. It is the beauty of ink painting and its rawness. Even the tiniest error, such as a brush slip, or splash of ink, can be a hallmark of the work. The teacher will make you realize that failures are not failures but a part of the process. Upon being able to accept this, you will notice that your paintings are more lively and characterful. Rather than fear to fail, you will be keen to discover where the ink will bring you.
A space can also be discovered during an ink painting course. One does not have to produce a masterpiece immediately. You will learn and explore new ways, materials, and styles. The good thing about it is that you can do it at your own speed. With every session, you will become a bit more at home with the brush, a little more radical with your lines. Want to relax, want to be creative, want to be emotional, through art, the course will provide an ideal environment to all of that. Then, take up the brush and run the ink and speak your creativity.
