Enso : Créer une aquarelle méditative japonaise

oooo I love those colors Anastasia! Didnt imagine I would see you here! This color very much looks like moonglow but what is the red or violet you used? Almost like Alizarin Crimson but looks quite opaque and strong! And I love your "seal" on the side! Where or how about did you create that? I I love your final final the most!!!! Its amazing how you can feel the state of mind isnt it?Hope you can use this to incorporate it into your daily creative practice!!!Thank you so much for taking the class!!!

Thank you Miwa! I loved your Enso so much so I wanted to learn myself how to do that. Colors are indigo, payne's grey, opera quinacridone pink, cobalt blue, viridian green. They were on the brush here and there. I also dipped once in moonglow. I love that paint! 
I tried all kinds of paper too. The best came out on sanders waterford cold press. It was my final final :)

The seal I made of A and Z some time ago. When I saw Japanese art. I think I want to make a stamp but don't know how yet.

It is amazing! It calms and unlocks creativity at the same time. Gives me place in this world. It remined me sleeping cat or child pose. And our life circle,  it is an eye of the universe.

It is a great idea to do it daily! Just beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing Japanese cultural gems with us! It is very special!

Wow tons of colors i love there! especially moon glow and viridian green;)) I dont think i have tried sanders yet! So good to know! ohhh its a A and Z! In japanese kanji, it looked like 井 which is pronounced E. So I thought it was actually your hidden japanese name! I have created my own stamp with an eraser but not the best! I may teach it in future classes if i get better! Im glad you absorbed different thoughts and reflected on this! I did too! Thanks again too!!! I really appreciate this connection.

I wish I had one! I mean Japanese name:) Oh wow! I didn't think about eraser. I should try it.  It was an interesting class indeed! I appreciate the connection! I love this meditation &lt;3

It is in japanese but youll get the idea on this video

Lovely to see you back with us, creating again, Anastasia :D

Joanne!!!! I am so so happy to get back from my projects and  to see you too! Missed you:D

Thank you for a beautiful class Miwa!
I enjoyed it alot! Also tried my brushes and even one feather!
Nice idea to do only 2 brushstrokes. 
It was tempting to do more. Embrace perfect imperfection!
Here is some of my warmups :)
