Join One Heart Sangha and Washington Ethical Society for a Zen brush art workshop. Sensei Bob JinGen Ertman, who has studied brush art and calligraphy extensively with Japanese masters, will be leading the workshop.
Brush art is a Japanese art form typically featuring natural subjects, Japanese characters, or traditional shapes like the circular enso. Zen brush art emphasizes spontaneity and minimalism, contrasting black ink and white paper. There is no right or wrong in Zen art, only what is present for the artist in the moment each brush stroke is made.
Advance registration is required so they can be sure they have enough space and materials on hand. The workshop is free. It will be in the large downstairs classroom at Washington Ethical Society located at 7750 16th St NW DC 20012
