Ink and Watercolors of 2007

Katherine did most of these paintings in 2007 when she was introduced to the art of sumi-e (chinese) ink drawings.  She combines black sumi-e ink with watercolors to create small mostly 4"X6" paintings.  

Katherine's personal favorite out of this batch-"White Tiger." Though it is small (4"X6"), it is a painting with lots of life. Sumi-e ink on paper.
