Calligraphy
Calligraphy
There are two kanji words this week for those who want to practice their calligraphy. The first is sekku (festival).
The next word is tango from tango no Sekku (Boys's Day).
Sketch
Here is a relatively simple iris sketch for practice. It is a sketch of a bearded iris, not the shōbu iris associated with Tango no Sekku.
Demonstration Painting
Demonstration Painting
