Description
This refined painting is perfect to release mental stress and restore your energy. Over 2,000 years ago this art originated from China, and this art form still enjoys its solid status in the art world until today. In this course, we will start from scratch, from the familiarisation of the painting materials to painting various flowers, birds, fruits and insects. We will also discuss relevant Chinese cultural aspects during our classes.
Like a bottle of good wine, this painting requires patience and care, which you will cultivate along the painting process, and you will slow down automatically, as will the world around you - enjoy this excellent time of peace and quiet.
Allow me to introduce you to the bird painting in our course! As one of the gems on the crown of the Chinese painting, the bird painting (in both Freehand and Gongbi styles) is a crucial domain that requires great attention, and this course serves as a start to our bird painting courses.
“No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.” – William Blake

Hi there, I am an English speaking (fluent) traditional Chinese artist who has been trained in these arts since the age of 5. Now living in Europe, I find it aspiring to share my knowledge with you, especially if you are seeking to relax your mind in an alternative way.
The courses will contain plenty of detailed practical traditional painting / calligraphy techniques that will help you form a solid base, develop your skills or master these arts. In my courses, there will also be useful information in terms of cultural relevance. Additionally, thanks to my two Master's studies and business school work experience, there will occasionally be useful content related to the Chinese business culture from an international perspective.
If you are an old friend of the Chinese art, welcome to join our art family; if you are a future friend, why not have a try at it with me? Look forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
Fiona
