About the workshop:
Learning Chinese brush painting is a fun and exciting way to learn about Chinese art culture. It is a timeless art skill that is very different from Western art styles. Students in this Chinese brush painting workshop will be trained to use Chinese brushes, ink and Chinese gouache on rice paper. At the beginning of the workshop, Lulu will do a simple demo about how to properly hold Chinese brushes, how to use ink and Chinese gouache on rice paper, and then the students will follow Lulu to practice bamboo and pandas. When students are ready, they can draw their own bamboo and pandas with some references provided.
Registration is required and limited to ages 12 and older
