  3. If you enjoy it, join the challenge from April 11\u201321, 2026, with guided videos from 30+ artists<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In my 30-minute session, I\u2019ll introduce you to Sumi-e<\/strong>, the art of Japanese ink painting.

    I hope you\u2019ll join us and create alongside so many inspiring artists!<\/p>\n
