I am available to demonstrate Chinese Brush Painting for clubs and organizations.

Chinese Brush Painting Classes

I have taught Chinese Brush Classes for Brush Strokes Art League and the National Parks Community College.

Currently I teach beginning and intermediate Chinese Brush Painting at the Coronado Center in Hot Springs Village and in my home studio.

Beginning Classes are limited to 4 students that meet at my home studio for approximately 5 morning session to learn the basics of this exciting yet challenging medium. New students learn ink painting and color, and practice brush strokes on bamboo, grass orchid and plum blossom subjects..

When this class is completed they are ready to join the intermediate class. I teach this class about four times a year.

Intermediate Classes are limited to 10 students and meet at the Coronado Center in Hot Springs Village. The classes are usually 6 or 7 sessions on Wednesday mornings and meet every other week or as the Center's schedule allows. This class is open to all students who know the basic brush strokes and includes florals, landscape, and mounting techniques
