About the event
Only 28 spots available!!
In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn and experience the art of creating fan paintings in traditional Chinese style. As a student, you’ll explore common subjects depicted in fan paintings: landscape, flowers, birds, and more, as well as learning their symbolic meanings in Chinese Culture.
The instructor will guide you through the techniques of Chinese brushwork as you will learn to manipulate each brush stroke to achieve various forms - from thin delicate lines to bold and dynamic strokes. It’s as if you brought life to paper.
The principles of composition will be another tactic you will explore as you learn to create balance and harmony by using the “three perfections”: Painting, Poetry, and Calligraphy. The instructor will provide insight about traditional Chinese aesthetics while guiding you in arranging your subjects on the fan.
Color also holds an essential part in fan painting.…
