The following 7 days on Sunday, Might 15 from 1:00 – 3:00pm, he will be web hosting a discussion of the ink clean approach featured in the show.

Tadaima is a phrase that means “I’ve just arrive home now” in Japanese. J. Jordan Bruns, a extended time Glen Echo Park resident artist has returned from a 3-yr sabbatical in Tokyo, Japan. 

“Tadaima” will spotlight some of the function produced through his sabbatical as well as perform created considering the fact that his return.  On screen will be Bruns’s ink wash paintings of Japanese Buddhist Temples and Shinto Shrines. These works are built working with acrylic ink, as a substitute for much more standard Sumi ink, in monochrome of possibly blue or gold. Every piece has parts of substantial resolution around the focal points and summary ink splatters or uncontrolled washes in other areas to stability the realism.  

Bruns will host a demonstration and discussion titled “Working in Ink Abroad” on Sunday, Might 15th from 1:00-3:00pm. This party will permit attendees to see his sketchbooks from three several years of travel in Asia and Oceania. Bruns will also talk about and exhibit how the technique used in plein air ink sketches relates to his far more resolved ink washes in the studio.
