Chinese Ink Painting

Chinese Ink Painting is an art form that started thousands of years ago. It refers to the application of paint on rice paper and typically embodies philosophical concepts. The Chinese ink painting can be a quiet scene or storytelling with a poem at the side of the painting.

In this single-session Chinese painting workshop, we will teach you how to paint peony flowers which symbolizes a happy life, happy marriage, good health, and prosperity.
