This workshop is for all who have an interest in Chinese Brush Painting, both beginners and those with some experience. After quickly explaining the traditional materials, Anne will demonstrate how to paint a landscape in the gongbi (meticulous) style on sized paper. This style of painting developed in the Song Dynasties (960-1279 AD) and is also known as the Outline style due to the outline around everything. This is then filled in with ink or colour in many layers, painted to build up the form – hence the need to work meticulously.
You will be supplied with an outline of the landscape and you will transfer the image to the paper using ink and a fine line brush. Anne will then take you step by step through the techniques ensuring that everyone will complete the composition.
Anne will give personal one-to-one assistance throughout the day.
You will work on sized Xuan paper with Chinese painting colours and ink, using Chinese brushes.
