Course Overview
This refined painting style is perfect to release mental stress and restore your energy. Over 2,000 years ago this art originated from China, and it still enjoys its solid status in the art world today. In this course, we will start from scratch, from the familiarisation of the painting materials to painting various flowers, birds, fruits and insects. We will also discuss relevant Chinese cultural aspects during our lectures.
Like a bottle of good wine, this painting requires patience and care, which you will cultivate along the painting process, where you will slow down automatically, as will the world around you – enjoy this excellent period of peace and quiet.
Our course is the fifth in a series that focuses on teaching you how to paint the Gongbi style with unique materials, in this course, our focus will also be on light colored flowers. At the end of this course, you will have your very own camellia flowers that never withers.
