Description
This spring we are going to concentrate painting the two popular flowers of the season: the Peony and the Rose. Students will learn how to paint with the spontaneous method（意筆) and the outline method（工筆）of Chinese Painting. With this class, we shall present the paintings in various ways. Apart from painting on the traditional rice paper, students can learn how to paint on fabric such as a silk fan, or a scarf. They can also experiment painting on wood. Students will learn how to paint a spring bird and a butterfly to add more life to the paintings.
