Balance Painting

When I came to Japan I knew I wanted to learn all about Japanese arts and the techniques that they use. I have had the amazing opportunity to study many of them and one of my favorite but also the most challenging is definitely Japanese calligraphy. Japanese kanji can get very complicated and there are many different ways and styles of writing them, each with their own set of rules about the order of the strokes and the way they should be written. When practicing the art of calligraphy one of the most important things is ‘Balance’, not only in the individual strokes and the way the kanji is written but also its position on the paper and even a balance within your body and mind, while you are writing it. In the spring we had the amazing opportunity to witness a calligraphy performance at one of the local temples. The put down these huge sheets of paper and used these enormous brushes and you could see their entire body was involved while they were performing. This mixed media painting on authentic Japanese Washi paper, it is created using a combination of image transfer and acrylic paints and mediums as well as some flecks of gold leaf.
