Joanna Brown—Introduction to Freestyle (Xie Yi) Chinese Brush Painting 

Sunday, May 22, 10 am-1 pm, maximum of eight students, one-session class.

Freestyle (Xie Yi) Chinese Brush Painting is about personal expression rather than about accuracy or detail. It is a spontaneous technique which appears simple but has many elements in its process. It is about allowing the brush to flow, making a number of brush strokes to represent an object and create a personal symbolic expression. Express your impressions of flowers in this introductory class, where I will demonstrate the basic techniques and processes of the medium and you will practice and create your own Freestyle Chinese Brush Painting. Individual instruction will be given, sharing tips, techniques, and ideas.
