Description
In this course we are using the Chinese brush method to compose an attractive scene with a winter landscape in the background and winter plants and birds in the foreground. Suggestions for images from photographs: White Mountain landscapes, the Holly/the Christmas Rose, the Sparrows/the Cardinals. . . Students can make suggestions too and will vote for the images to be painted during the first class. In the first class, students will learn how to paint a simple landscape painting in the Chinese Brush style. In the following lessons, students shall elaborate the winter scenery by adding the plants and birds after their brush methods are learned.
