What will I learn?

There are two styles of Chinese painting: xieyi style and gongbi style. Xieyi or freehand is marked by exaggerated forms and freehand brushwork. Gongbi or meticulous is characterized by close attention to detail and fine brushwork.

Subjects and themes in traditional Chinese paintings are the figurative painting, landscapes and flowers and birds painting.

Who is the course for?

These workshops are open to everyone, no matter your experience level. Our art tutor, Marina, will explain, demonstrate, and guide you through each step. You'll be fully supported throughout.

Will I have to provide anything?

Traditional rise paper is the perfect choice (good quality watercolour paper is a great alternative), bamboo or wooden Chinese brushes (or similar to these), ink, watercolour paints, few empty jars for water and some kitchen paper.
