Ever used a sumi brush? 🖌️
This brush has seen empires rise and fall, shaped the history of art and writing, and traveled through time and space. But what makes it so special?
Join Todd for a deep dive into its unique design, history, and versatility for painting or hand-lettering with ink, watercolor, and more!
✨ Key features:
👆🏽 Tapered Tip: The long, finely pointed tip lets you create both bold strokes and delicate lines with incredible precision and control
🌱 Relaxed Flex: Unlike springy Western brushes, Sumi brushes rely on the weight of your hand and the brush itself, promoting a more fluid and expressive style
✨ Versatility: Sumi brushes handle all types of ink and water-based media, making them perfect for calligraphy, hand lettering, and painting
📜 Ancient Traditions: With roots dating back to ancient China, Sumi brushes carry centuries of cultural significance and artistic tradition
