Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this painting class:

Bamboo is the symbol for flexibility, longevity, and strength—a true dance of energy and ink! This workshop will be a relaxing, meditative exploration into learning the nature and techniques of Asian brush painting and calligraphy.

Through step-by-step demonstrations and hands-on brush painting projects using the "four treasures" (bamboo brushes, ink, inkstone, and rice paper), students will explore the ancient and elegant art of painting bamboo. Learn this traditional subject in ink and color with elegant and beautiful results. Participants will leave the workshop with two completed projects. 

All materials provided and all levels welcome.
