Japanese ink painting

I figured it's about time I made some posts. Ever since I got my paint brushes back from Japan this december I've been a bit more motivated to fool around with some Japanese paintings. I've been trying some of the techniques explained by Naomi Okamoto in her book Japanese ink painting and I hope to do a whole lot more. I've found so far it makes a whole lot of difference having good supplies - the right paint, brushes and paper really do work wonders. Here are some samples of some things I've done.
