Eastern Brush Painting with Chung-Fan Chang
Date September 3; 10:00am -12:00pm
Fee $60 + $15 materials fee
In this Master Class, participants will explore the traditional art of Eastern brush painting, focusing on expressive brushwork, balance, and the harmony between ink, water, and paper. Rooted in centuries-old techniques inspired by classical Chinese painting traditions, this course emphasizes mindfulness, movement, and the power of a single brushstroke to capture the essence of nature—expressing the impression of plants, flowers, and bamboo with simplicity and grace. Participants will learn how to load the brush effectively and apply both wet and dry brush techniques to achieve depth, texture, and expressive strokes.
