Ink wash painting, also known as literati painting is an East Asian type of brush painting that uses black ink—the same as used in East Asian calligraphy, in various concentrations. Ink wash painting was developed in China during the Tang Dynasty (618- 907). 



Ink wash painting  has a different name in each country that it is practiced. Names include: 
Chinese shui-mo hua (水墨畫), in Japanese sumi-e (墨絵) or suibokuga (水墨画?), in Korean sumukhwa (수묵화), and in Vietnamese tranh thuỷ mặc (幀水墨).


Grade Level Projects Include
K & 1st Grade: 3-D paper Koi Fish
2nd Grade: Cherry Blossom Sumi-E Paintings
3rd & 4th Grade: Bamboo & Panda Shui-mo hua Paintings
5th Grade: Japanese Lanterns inspired by the artwork of Katsushika Hokusai.

Ink wash painting is usually done on xuan paper (Chinese) or washi (Japanese paper) both of which are highly absorbent and unsized. Each brush stroke is visible, so any "wash" in the sense of Western style painting requires partially sized paper. the idea of an "ink wash" refers to a wet-on-wet technique, applying black ink to paper where a lighter ink has already been applied, or by quickly manipulating watery diluted ink once it has been applied to the paper by using a very large brush.
