The energy and liveliness of nature expressed in each painting uses wet-on-wet, wet on dry, dry brush, masking, spattering and scrape-out techniques. The paintings are analyzed and explained using terms from the fundamentals of color and design. Each season starts with 5″x7″ paper and a simple design that gradually progresses and advances to the size of 22″x30″. The class is suitable for beginner to experienced watercolor painter. About the artist: Sumiyo Tribe - Watercolor ArtistSumiyo Toribe was born in Kyoto, Japan during September 1973. Toribe studied art throughout her education, but began painting seriously when she joined the graduate painting program at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 1996. She currently resides in central Massachusetts. She has been teaching college art courses since 1999. Her works have been published in several magazines and newspapers and been featured on local television. Most recently Toribe has completed the art book Painting by Lyrics with lyricist Mark Stevens.

She produced one painting a day between August 2009 and September 2013 and posts her painting process and tutorials on the YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/storibeart. She participates in several juried art shows throughout the year. All upcoming events and related links can be found on the official website, www.sumiyotoribe.com. Toribe expresses her daily experience through watercolor, sumi ink, and oil paint. The work is variously sized. The outcome of her work is between expressive and impressionistic, abstract and representational, and western and eastern influences can be detected. She enjoys exploring and experimenting with medium, form and concept. The subject matter varies from figurative to landscape to floral. Recent thoughts and ideas are focused more towards her home country of Japan. Toribe’s watercolor technique is known to be new and unique; using the flow of water to make spontaneous marks and a lively flow of energy. Historically, most people coming to Jookender Events also speak Russian or one of the Eastern European languages. However, we're all friendly and will speak your tong if you don't speak ours.
