Description
The end of the year is approaching! We are beginning to prepare for the celebrations of the holidays. Let us use the Chinese brush technique to render fall and winter images. We will start our course with painting of the Bamboo. Afterwards, we shall learn the brush methods for the Plum, a late winter and early spring blooming plant; and the Narcissus and the Amaryllis, flowers from forced bulbs. We shall paint birds that appear in winter time, such as the Cardinal and/or the Crane, possibly against a snowy landscape. After a demonstration from the instructor, students will practice and complete their weekly painting with instructor guidance. Beginning and returning students are welcome.
