Learn how to create Chinese Ink Paintings in this live zoom workshop for beginners with Ping He. This unique course covers bird and flower paintings.
When: Thursday 28 April 2022
Class time: 19:30-21:00
Where: on Zoom
Experience needed: This workshop is for beginners and no prior experience of Chinese Ink Painting is needed. Some painting experience and a strong enthusiasm are recommended.
Chinese painting gives an impression of how the subject makes you feel. It is not a photocopy of what you see. The subject painted reveals the artist’s expression. If the painting moves the audience vividly, then you have succeeded as a Chinese Ink Painting artist. You have to observe the subject and maintain its personality and characteristics. Less is more, only keep the essentials in a few brush strokes.
This short online workshop will inspire you with new painting methods, introduce you to relevant artistic techniques and equip you with the basic knowledge to take your painting/illustration further.
By the end of the evening, you will have painted your own bird and a flower, understanding the color mix for a specific flower or a bird and be able to create a composition for your future paintings in Chinese brushes which can help you to make progress putting down essential ideas for your dummy books.
