Why should I take this course?

In many Asian cultures, particularly in China and Korea, the tiger symbolizes power, strength, and courage. It is considered a powerful guardian against evil spirits. Chinese brush painting has a distinctive style characterized by flowing brushstrokes and an emphasis on capturing the essence of the subject. Learning this style can contribute to developing your own unique artistic expression.

What does it cover?

By controlling the special soft brush with a sharp point, Chinese brush painting is a mental exercise and a physical exercise that coordinates the mind and the body. Join this course to learn brush-handling techniques and paint tigers.
