Further Detail
Landscape is a highly regarded subject in Chinese painting with much symbolic meaning. You will learn to build up your landscape painting trees, rocks, mountains and water using ink and a fine brush. You will also add a traditional Chinese figure, giving a focal point. Maggie will explain the symbolism attached to this fascinating subject
Skills/Techniques Covered
You will learn to control your brush and practice a variety of pictures. Dry brushstrokes give tree trunks and rocks a effect, dots forming foliage and softer strokes giving the effect of water or folds in clothing. You will then be able to add colour to your composition.
Level
This course is designed for a range of abilities including beginners
Materials
Materials are not included in your course fee. Some materials will be provided by the tutor. The approximate cost of these will be £20, payable to the tutor during the course.
Maggie will bring a selection of Chinese painting materials for you to loan or purchase.
Your tutor may not have the facilities to take card payments for materials in the workshops. Please remember to bring cash or your cheque book.
Please Bring With You
We advise that you do not buy any materials required for a course more than two weeks in advance, because occasionally a course is cancelled due to low enrolment.
