A traditional sumi ink stick for Chinese calligraphy, ink painting, sumi-e, ink wash practice, and quiet brush painting at home.
Use it with an ink stone and a few drops of water to slowly grind fresh black ink before painting. This slower process gives your brush practice a more traditional feeling and works well for calligraphy strokes, bamboo, flowers, ink washes, and expressive line work.
This ink stick is designed to be used with an ink stone. If you are new to ink painting and want a ready-to-use option, sumi liquid ink may be easier to start with.
Pair it with a Chinese calligraphy brush set, xuan paper, and a portable ink stone to complete a more traditional ink painting setup.
