Traditional painters of the Western discipline have always considered Orientals to be the "Masters of the Brush". It is logical for these artists to study the ancient arts and incorporate this wisdom of design and brush techniques into their art. Many Sumi-e artist's come from diverse artistic backgrounds, several of the artists listed are accomplished traditional oil and watercolor painters who have been drawn to Oriental art and share a love for Brush Painting.

Evolving Sumi-e Conciousness From a Western Artist William Preston  — I try to distill the quintessence of the land into art that transcends time and space. Sumi-e, with its eloquent simplicity and evocative quality, provides me with an ideal medium, My work evokes the essence of nature rather than the specifics of a particular place or thing. Many things are implied or left unsaid, creating a visual poem. Visit The Preston/Hornbuckle Fine Art Gallery >
