African Art Workshop with Trishna Patnaik

African Art has played a significant role in shaping the culture and history of the world. The belief that Africa is the cradle of the history of mankind is virtually unshakeable.

Rock Art is centuries old, while shell beads fashioned for a necklace have been recovered in a cave of the southern peninsula of South Africa that are 75,000 years old.

The human figure has always been the primary subject matter for most African art; we will be focussing on tall stick ‘dancing’ figures for our painting in the African Art workshop.

The figures are dynamic and elongated, and the colours are mostly red, white, grey, and black. Many warm tones ranging from red to yellow are also used. Most of the ‘dancing’ figures are decorated with unusual patterns and festive clothing.

Participants will work with acrylic colours, metallic colours and cartridge sheets in the African Art Workshop.

Ink Wash Painting Workshop with Trishna Patnaik

Ink wash painting is originally from China and it was introduced to Japan and they developed their own style. On the cartridge sheet you can paint the flowers, abstract and landscape with the technique of shading and pressure within a single brushstroke. Let’s experience this together!

Paintings in black ink are called sumie in Japan. Sumie basically uses only black ink. Sumie uses various techniques of shading and gradation. Shading and gradation can be obtained through changing the amount of water added to the ink.

Sumie is that space is as important or perhaps more important than the objects. It is so-called “the beauty of blank space”. In Sumie, the white space or “emptiness” completes the painting. Sumie is an art deeply rooted in Zen, embodying many of the tenets of the Zen finding beauty in blank space.

Participate in the Ink Wash Painting workshop to welcome your philosophical side which relates to Zen and yes, have a fun and intriguing session as well.

You will be working with black Indian ink on cartridge sheets.
