This workshop connects culture, visual art techniques, and individual creativity.
It offers a discovery of Japanese folklore through yōkai, fantastical creatures from legends. A brief introduction presents their history and some examples, notably those drawn by the master of yōkai: Shigeru Mizuki.
You will then discover watercolour and dip-pen India ink by creating a first yōkai already sketched out. In a second stage, you will invent your own creature: choosing its characteristics, a short story, a preparatory sketch, then colouring and inking.
