227-Chinese Brush Painting

With the instructor’s guidance, students learn a variety of step-by-step techniques of freehand-style brush work and how to use simple brush strokes to create vivid images of flowers, birds, fish, bamboo, and more. Students also learn how to incorporate texture and unique wash techniques essential for Chinese landscape painting. More complex brush work is explored for those who have taken the class before.
