Chinese Brush Painting: Fish

In China, the fish is symbolic of unity, fertility and fidelity as it is noted that fish (particularly koi) often swim together in pairs. In Buddhism, the fish symbolizes happiness and freedom. By learning to draw the traditional strokes of contour, fins, scale and tail, you can paint this subject with an authentic spontaneous style. Water plants will be introduced as background subjects. This class is for beginners as well as intermediate students. Step by step, you will complete your artwork with Chinese calligraphy and seals. Students will also learn the traditional wet mounting technique. Tools are available for purchase from the instructor.
