About me

I paint with black ink and a brush on thin paper, in a small house in the hills, mostly on the veranda in the morning. I grind a little ink every day and paint one page before I do anything else. I started with a single brush and a cheap stick of ink, and I still paint with very little.

I write a post every Wednesday, and most of them are about practice: one subject, one stroke, one thing to try. What I sell is the part you can use: practice sheets for bamboo, mountains and fruit, a stroke guide, a brush care guide, a printable set of paintings, a starter bundle and two video courses, one for beginners and one for three subjects. I do not take commissions. I teach you to paint your own.
