Recomanable al 100 per 1000 Dolors Vila Mur4 Septiembre 2025 Fabulosa y muy recomendable la práctica del Sumi-e! Más que una técnica, he descubierto un excelente trabajo de introspección que integra la relajación y el bienestar. Materiales humildes como la tinta y el agua te proporcionan fluidez y un medio de expresión para captar la esencia del entorno mediante el trazo. Kaoru es una guía imprescindible para el desarrollo de esta práctica, formada en Japón, con titulación oficial, nos enseña el método, mostrando todos los pasos y habilidades. De ella aprendes a adoptar una actitud de observación y armonía al representar los elementos característicos del Sumi-e. Bilyana Iliykova6 Julio 2025 Me ha encantado el taller.
