Date: Friday, November 01, 2024 Who: Adults When: Friday, November 01 | 10am-4pm (6 Hours) Pricing: $75/Course | $10/Supplies All Supplies Provided (+ $10 due at booking) Description Come and learn the basics for this meditative art form during this 1 day workshop! Nature is the heart of Chinese brush painting. It is intended to be a meditative and spontaneous art form, capturing the essence of an image or idea with very little attention to precise details. Using the “Four Treasures,” the brush, ink stick, ink stone and the paper, you will learn the techniques to create the “Four Gentleman,” the bamboo, orchid, plum and chrysanthemum. Each “Gentleman” introduces a new stroke or idea and reinforces techniques already learned. Continual demonstrations will be provided throughout the workshop along with individual attention. This workshop will concentrate on learning the brush strokes to create the bamboo. All supplies will be provided (+ $10 due at booking). Returning students will review bamboo basics, learn how to load your brush for values, and learn how to work on rice paper. Returning students will then begin learning the strokes of the orchid. Returning students will need to purchase additional supplies from the instructor during the workshop; please email us for a supply pricing list after booking!
