The Autumn, the season of fertility.
\nGrape is one of fun motif for sumi-e. Because it needs few techniques to depict and you can experience what sumi-e is.<\/p>\n

Tips: \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Grapes:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Load black ink.
\nTwo strokes for one grape.
\nFirst touch down the paper with the top of the brush hair then swirl the brush.
\nSecond stroke moves little along with the first part.
\nContinue the same two-strokes movement \bto add other grapes until the ink is consumed totally.
\nA Grape which is depicted first comes front and second one goes back. (This is one of great characteristics of sumi ink I love)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Leaf<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Make a brush as normal.
\nHold a brush horizontally and keep it almost parallel at paper surface.
\nTouch down with the all brush hairs at once.
\nSlide the brush.
\nThe grape leaves look like kind of sharply.<\/p>\n

(Wash the brush)<\/p>\n

Veins<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Make a brush for thin line drawing.
\nLoad very black ink.
\nDraw the line.<\/p>\n

Brunch and connect each grape<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Draw brunch
\nConnecting each grape with thin line is the most fun part<\/strong><\/span> of the grape drawing.<\/p>\n
