This workshop offers a compact introduction to experimental Chinese ink painting. It draws on the philosophy of classical Chinese landscape painting and its traditional brush methods, while encouraging participants to push beyond them.
Participants learn essential brush techniques and how pressure, rhythm and the direction of force shape a stroke, and they explore washing techniques that work with water, timing and layering. The workshop also introduces liubai, the principle of leaving space empty as a deliberate compositional tool. The session opens with demonstrations of key techniques, followed by guided individual practice, with feedback and instruction given on the spot. It closes with a shared feedback session.
No previous experience is required. The workshop suits curious beginners and painters interested in abstraction and material-based practice who want a calm yet experimental creative space.
