Workshop in the art of Chinese brush painting with Edinburgh-based Chinese artist Chi Zhang focusing on traditional bamboo painting.
Discover the fascinating art of Chinese brush painting and try your hand at this expressive art form. These workshops are suitable for beginners or people who have painting experience but have never tried Chinese brush painting techniques before. No prior knowledge is necessary, you should simply be keen to learn and willing to hold a brush. All tools and materials used during the workshop will be supplied. The cost of the workshop is £15.
Bamboo has significant cultural importance in China and other East Asian countries, representing good character. The tradition of bamboo painting has been around for many centuries and some techniques have been used for over 1000 years. Using Chinese soft brushes, ink and colours, you will be shown how to achieve wonderful paintings in the style of Chinese old masters.
