Today I practiced painting a scene. A simple scene, but one that I painted from my head and not from a diagram. Looking back I feel that I've come a long way in the last couple of weeks. While I still have a long way to go before I'd call myself proficient in sumi, I am able to create a painting that can truly say I am 
proud of. In this case I have the painting of the bird to the left, and the painting of plum blossoms to the right. I am pleased with the variation in ink intensity as well as the composition. From this point forward I plan to try painting more complex subjects and scenes.

Kep going, I can't wait to see what you come up with. Are you still having issues with grinding the ink to the intensity you want?
