Chinese Brush Painting

Date: November 12,13. 7:00-9:00pm


Chinese brush painting is one of the world's oldest continuous art forms. This tradition begain several thousand years ago in China, and continues today. This technique differs from traditional western art in that the painter must conceive and mentally design a draft of his or her work before actually putting brush to paper. Using imagination and experience, the painter expresses his vision without correcting the painting. Below is an interesting example of how a bee might be illustrated:

Peihong's first class with us sold out quickly last summer. Get registered early for this rare opportunity to learn from a master.
