Description:
In this online workshop, we'll explore how to capture the shape, movement, and personality of animals using simple, intentional brushstrokes.
We'll bring them to life using the expressive brush and ink techniques of Chinese brush painting.
In college I spent a semester focusing on Japanese and Chinese brush painting and it helped me discover my love for mark making and I am excited to share it with you!
Rather than focusing on perfect realism, we’ll embrace the beauty of loose, intentional marks and learn how a few simple strokes can bring an animal to life.
Material Suggestions:
I like to use newsprint and 140lb watercolor paper when practicing. Newsprint is nice because you go through so much while practicing all my mark making.
For brushes, bring a few different sized watercolor round brushes and a flat brush.
Black Ink and Watercolor
