Sumi-e Kit: The Art of Japanese Brush Painting -- Sumi-e is the timeless art of Japanese brush painting. Sumi-e works are typically made up of just a few brushstrokes, but the graceful birds, fish, and plant life they depict seem to move on the page. This portable kit contains all the materials you’ll need to get started, plus an instructional booklet covering the history of sumi-e and step-by-step techniques to master the four basic strokes necessary to complete any painting.

The Art of Meditation Made Easy

2008-03-25 | 7:08 PM | Meaghan Walsh

The perfect gift for anyone who has an affinity for Asian watercolor - and who thinks they have no artistic talent! I purchased this for my boyfriend (who claims to have no ability to draw or paint) but who adores all things Asian. He tried it one day while I was at work and presented me with a beautiful, heartfelt gift. He described it as very easy. The instructions are clear, simple and easy to remember. He noted that once he read the 'directions' he let his mind wander and he wasn't even conscious of the art. When he was done, he put down the brush and realized that in fact he did have artistic talent. It is now framed and on the wall. I highly recommend this item.
