Chinese Brush Painting for Beginners
Wednesdays, March 15 and 22, 2023, 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
with Judy Giguere

This two-night beginner’s class explores Chinese Brush Painting, an ancient art form that developed in China hundreds of years ago. The style and technique of Chinese painting have varied greatly over the years -- from very detailed portraits to paintings of flowers executed with large brush strokes. Judy, an expert in the media, will lead participants in the creation of two of the Four Gentlemen - bamboo in the first class and the Chinese Orchid in the next.  No experience is necessary, and all supplies will be provided.

Offering: $85 (includes supplies)
