Chinese Painting Class

Chinese Community Center

Anping Liu, Master Painter

Second and Fourth Saturdays in Jan, Feb and Mar.

Time: 10 am to noon.

Location: 11 Avis Dr. Latham

Cost: $18-$28

In each class, Teacher Liu will demonstrate how to use brushes, ink, paint, and rice papers to depict natural subjects, teach ink wash techniques and composition, and lead and guide students to use these techniques to complete Chinese painting. Learning Chinese painting can not only inherit cultural arts, but also cultivate one’s character, please the mind, improve aesthetic taste, and play a very positive role in enhancing mental health.

Traditional Chinese painting uses brushes, ink and watercolor on rice paper to create expressive and elegant pictures. Chinese painting has a long history and is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Among them, literati painting emphasizes comprehensive cultural cultivation, requires poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal carving to be integrated, and advocates that the painter must have character, talent, knowledge, and thought, none of which can be missing. The purpose of literati painters is not to depict nature realistically, but to express themselves with the help of nature and satisfy their souls.
