Suminagashi water painting art

Nowadays, people use both traditional inks and acrylic paints to create beautiful works of art.

This type of water painting art has the advantage of relatively cheap materials. Some artisans have taken techniques that go beyond a single effect to create many specific images. Although usually paintings painted in water are quite abstract, when converted to paper or canvas, they are much more beautiful. The success and quality of the works also depends a lot on the ability to create art. Common themes in these works include natural elements such as mountains, clouds, and natural landscapes.

The art of water painting originated in China more than 2000 years ago. However, it was only when Shinto monks in Japan absorbed and developed in the 12th century that water paintings became more known.

The art of water painting (suminagashi) is a technique of coloring in water to create effects on paper. With an embossed ink, artisans will draw in water, then carefully apply paper or fabric to the surface of the water to print the finished product. The success and quality of the work also depends a lot on the ability to create art.

Water-based painting materials are relatively cheap because they often use traditional inks or even acrylic paints. Some artists have gone beyond the usual effects to create concrete images, although domestic paintings are often very abstract. Common themes in these works are often about natural elements such as clouds, sky, mountains, flowers, etc.

Although more and more modern tools are used, the basic techniques remain largely unchanged.
