    For many years I have studied the Japanese aesthetic of Shibui and it has become the underlying philosophy of my own personal work and my own understanding of beauty as seen through the lens of everyday life.
    Here are some of my thoughts about Shibui as it applies to the way I create:
    Suggestion over statement. The more subtle the suggestion, the more tasteful the work of art.
    As in nature, there is nothing overly ornate about shibui. Every element counts, quietly creating the structure of the whole. A whisper. An experience. There is a serene darkness, a restfulness and ease at its core.
    Quiet. Sober. Tasteful. Refined and Rough simultaneously. Modest.
    Simplicity. Tranquility. Everydayness. Spare elegance, never forced.
    Imperfect.
    Nuanced hues that can be further quieted with various shades of grey. Sometimes a hint of sparkle. Just a hint. Incandescent within dusky.
    Not affected by trends, there is a simple quality that stands the test of time. The more you use it or experience it, the more it reveals.
    Two new colors were created for this subtle selection of 15 handmade watercolours that embody my sense of Shibui:
    Midori, a mystic’s cool green, with hints of warmer hues and tiny particles of darkness that flow within its washes.
    Darkling, a deep Cassel earth with subtle hints of shimmering bronze, a spark of light within the dark.
    These colors are meant to be lingered over in quiet moments of everyday expressive play. Soothing, subtle harmony no matter how you combine them.

    It sounds and looks beautiful, but definitely too expensive for some of us.

      I totally understand. Luckily in my lessons I teach how to mix many beautiful colours with basic pigments. ❤

    Can you tell me the cost in USD for the Shibui palette? Your creative results speak for themselves. Lovely and serene. Also can you link the brushes you are using.

      Thank you! That would depend on your banks exchange rate. But in general, I just googled it for you and it is approximately 187 dollars, not including the discount, for 15 half pans.

      The brushes are from Oriental Art Supply. The shorter one is called a twig brush.
