Changes in brush pressure, speed, direction and ink concentration can produce delicate lines, bold marks and beautifully varied tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit contains the same type of materials used during Copper Jewels Sumi-e workshops, so you can continue practising familiar techniques or begin exploring at your own pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrush Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the brushes thoroughly in clean water after use. Gently reshape the bristles into a point and allow the brushes to dry naturally with the bristles pointing downwards or lying flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not leave the brushes standing in water, as this may damage the bristles and loosen the brush head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHelpful Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the felt mat beneath one or two sheets of rice paper before painting. Sumi-e paper is absorbent, so begin with less ink and water than you think you need. You can always add more, but the paper has no reverse gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAffirmation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAffirmation – \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eI release perfection and allow each brushstroke to express its own quiet beauty.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrepared with Reiki\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Sumi-e kit is prepared with care and infused with Reiki energy, carrying the intention of creativity, calm, focus and joyful artistic exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note that packaging, labels and minor details may vary slightly according to supplier availability.
