Sumi-e ( Chinese-Ink Drawings )


 
Sumi-e(Chinese-ink drawing) is also called Suibokuga( literallygwater-ink paintingh). Sumie is originally monochrome painting, characterized by the use of black-ink, which is ground on an ink-stone and diluted with water, then drawn with brushes to  paper.
When I want to make a drawing milder, I  try to add some different soft colors to it.
