For today's Art and Beauty Tuesday, I have embedded a YouTube video showing Kazu Shimura drawing a sparrow in ink. I love the different textures and even colors he gets just with black ink. There is much beauty in simplicity.
Drawing in black only, like writing haiku, can lend a certain freedom and creativity from the somewhat artificial parameters set by the medium.

Fantastic Video. I love the reminder of the power in the most simplistic things. Thanks for sharing. Tweeted to my followers, all 63 of them. :-)
Wow! Thanks so much!!!
I love Japanese art. He handles the brush with such control and restraint. I could never do that because I can't see the image in my head first and my tremor wouldn't let me do such fine work. It's so inspiring to see great talent like this.
The painting is so beautiful and detailed in its simplicity. I'm glad you liked it.
