Led by Portland artist Nancy Smith Klos, students will explore the basics in Sumi-e and the philosophy of this ancient practice. Using these new skills, students will apply them to sketching and design for composition, color application to setup the underpainting for oils, 
and finally for the finishing touches.
Klos, a fine artist, designer, and photographer offers workshops throughout the Northwest, Idaho and California. She moved to Oregon in 1985 where she established Klos Studios in 1990. Although Nancy has lived in many parts of the country, she considers the NW her real home.
