Join like minded artists of Chinese Brush painting in a weeklong workshop focused on exploring your own painting projects, techniques, and ideas facilitated by Asian brush artist Joanne Sullivan. Participants are welcome to share their own experiences and ideas in a collaborative setting.
Artist Sullivan has studied with masters Chow Chiang Chiu and Chow Leung Chen Ying, Shantien Tom Chow, and James Tan. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, CA, and a Degree in Secondary School Art Education from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. She has practiced forms of Asian art for more than 50 years and is the current president of American Artists of Chinese Brush Painting.
Using thin traditional Asian papers, commonly called “rice paper” (“xuan”), or other experimental materials, along with traditional natural hair round brushes, ink and traditional and modern paints, Chinese brush artists incorporate Asian influenced principles that reflect the traditional yin yang, compositional concepts of empty (space) and full, host and guest, wet and dry, dark and light, etc.
Interested students are encouraged to have brush handling and moisture control skills, and have familiarity using various type of raw and sized papers, traditional natural, hard, soft, and mixed hair brushes, and Chinese or western watercolor paints. Bottled Asian ink is required. Students must bring their own painting supplies and paper.
