Sunflowers II by Tatum Wulff
Nihonga, or Traditional Japanese painting. Board size: 18” x 24” / Water based paint; pigments are derived from various sources of nature. A traditional board covered with washi paper is used. Featured in the Sunflowers group on Nov. 16/09 My lifelong passion for art unraveled and materialized while living in Japan. While apprenticing under a notable Japanese artist, Atsuko Miwa, I learned a unique style of painting called Nihonga, or Traditional Japanese painting. Atsuko Miwa is a member of the famous Nitten group and regularly judges and exhibits her work at the National Arts Centre, Tokyo. / Her lifelong teacher was the nationally renowned Tatsuo Takayama, who was awarded the Order of Cultural Merit in 1982. This style of painting dates back over a thousand years and is rarely heard of outside of Japan, China and India. The pigments are derived from natural sources and therefore offer an exquisite final result. Specifically, they are derived from semi-precious stones, crushed minerals, sea shells, coral, colorful insects, tree moss and other various sources from nature. Gold and silver are also often used in powder form, thin leaf or flakes. What results is a unique texture, brilliant rich color and ethereal hues. I have been studying Nihonga for over 10 years and while still practicing with various mediums, I have found the inherent beauty Japanese colors render unsurpassed. Consequently, Nihonga remains my preferred choice and true means of passion. Please click here to learn more about Nihonga and my background with this unique and beautiful medium. Please click here to view my accomplishments and awards with Nihonga. I am available for commission work.
