Zen By the Brush

Synopsis

For centuries, Zen monks in Japan have used the traditions of ink painting and poetry to aid them in meditation and to express their insights. Zen by the Brush offers modern readers a simple, quick, and fun way to relax with Zen art. Selected quotes and Japanese style sumi-é illustrations inspire you as you paint basic Zen images on the special painting board included in the kit. The water-painted images fade as they dry, allowing you to tap into your intuitive nature while relaxing your body and mind. Zen by the Brush provides an enjoyable introduction to meditative art and a means to practice the craft—or just to relax.
