6/6—ASIAN BRUSH PAINTNG: Camellia Flowers, Butterflies & Dragonflies

$35.00

DATE: Saturday, June 6th

TIME: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM

FACILITATOR: Marla Greenberg

Discover the meditative and timeless art of Asian Brush Painting. In this welcoming, hands-on workshop, we will explore the delicate harmony of the natural world by learning to capture the elegance of camellia flowers and the playful spirit of butterflies and dragonflies.

Whether you are a seasoned artist or picking up a brush for the first time, this session offers a peaceful space to create, learn, and connect.

What We’ll Explore Together

  • The Four Treasures: We’ll begin by getting to know our traditional tools—the specific brushes and ink that give this art form its soul.

  • The Language of Strokes: You’ll be guided through the three essential brush strokes that form the foundation of every painting. You'll have plenty of time to play and find your rhythm with the ink.

  • Bringing Nature to Life:

    • Learn the secrets to painting soft, blooming camellias.

    • Master the light, sweeping movements needed for butterflies and dragonflies.

  • Your Final Masterpiece: Using your new skills, you’ll compose a beautiful, cohesive painting on rice paper that brings all these elements together.

We’ll wrap up the day with a gentle "gallery walk" around the studio to admire each other's work and celebrate the unique "Qi"—or life force—each person brought to their paper.

Please register by 6/4. Spaces are limited, so register early to secure your spot! If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available or get on the waiting list.
