CHINESE BRUSH PAINTING CLASSES - 

BEGINNING  CHINESE  BRUSH  PAINTING

 

JUNE 9 – 13
9 AM– 4 PM

 

EUREKA SPRINGS SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

 With  Linda L. Shearer

 

Join us and learn the joys and challenges of painting on rice paper with the basic brush strokes of Chinese painting in ink and color.

 

 Students will discover how to:

** load their brush with multiple colors for spontaneous painting.  **composition and seal placement for an authentic composition

** washes and mounting techniques.

 

The “4 Gentlemen” of Chinese Painting – bamboo, grass orchid, plum blossom and mum will be the subjects used to provide examples of the brush strokes and color techniques. 

No experience is required except a sense of humor and adventure.

 

Material: rice paper, ink, paints and three brushes will be supplied (from China ) by the teacher at a cost of approximately $50, payable at the first class. Your supplies will last much longer than the classes.  A supply list of things to bring from home such as sponges, towels, and bowls will be provided by the school.

 

Linda Shearer lives in Hot Springs Village , where she paints and teaches Chinese Brush Painting.  She has studied with 4th generation Chinese Brush Master, Ning Yeh and paints in the Hsieh-I, or spontaneous style.

Northwest AR now has it's very own art magazine. It has been distributed all around the area and the first issue is free. It is also available on line. The magazine is called ionART.
 
"ionART Arts and Culture Magazine was created to promote Arkansas arts by connecting the dots within the art world of the region and presenting the growing scene as a whole in fresh detail. With the approach of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, each community in the region is working to better organize and present its arts and cultural offerings. ionART, Arts and Culture Magazine– offering artist profiles, reviews of exhibits and shows, calendars of events and more – is a stage for each of these communities to sing the voice of its art and to present its unique cultural diversity.

–Steve Schmidt, Publisher
ionART, Arts and Culture Magazine"
 
Several VAC members have pictures and information in it this month.
