Chinese Ink Painting
Price:
£20
A year-long course in traditional Chinese ink painting led by Yunxia Wu. Focussing on careful study, disciplined practice, and long-term development. This course emphasises slow learning rather than quick or decorative results. Students develop sensitivity to brushwork, structure, ink, and space through sustained practice grounded in classical methods.
Source materials include The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting and selected classical works from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.
How Each Session Works
Each session includes:
- Brush and ink practice
Calligraphy-based exercises to build control and rhythm. - Study of one classical work
Close observation and learning from a masterwork in each class. - Individual painting
Students create their own painting, applying what they have learned rather than copying the image directly.
