Watercolor, Lingnan artist, Master James Tan, presents traditional Chinese Brush Painting combined with western watercolor techniques, in a 5-day intensive workshop experience.
Using thin traditional Asian papers, commonly called “rice paper” (“xuan”), along with traditional natural hair round brushes, ink and traditional and modern paints, he creates Chinese influenced works that reflect the traditional yin yang compositional concepts of empty (space) and full, host and guest, wet and dry, dark and light, etc. Artist Master Tan has over 50 years of art and teaching experience, and exhibited internationally, specializes in the bird flower and landscape genres.
Interested students are encouraged to have brush handling and moisture control skills, and have familiarity using various types of raw and sized xuan papers, traditional natural, hard hair brushes (orchid bamboo, horse hair) and soft hair brushes (goat or sheep), and mixed hair brushes. Chinese “chip” paints, or Chinese or western watercolor paints are used. Bottled Asian ink is required. Students must bring their own painting supplies and paper.
