In each class we read part of “Zen Art for Mediation” before demonstration. (This book tells us Sumi-E concepts, how you can express this in your own paintings and helps your Sumi-E life.)
The last 30 minutes we critique each student’s paintings. (This is the most important part of the class, where you learn from other student’s paintings.)
