Prancing Peacocks

Chinese Brush Painting

In this workshop you will paint characterful Chinese peacocks in the traditional freehand way

Spend the day with expert tutor Angela Reich. Try something a bit different  - Chinese Brush Painting is wonderfully expressive and fun.

The peacock in China symbolises dignity and beauty, and is often painted with elegant flowers.

In this workshop you will learn about the unique materials of Chinese painting, use a Chinese brush to paint a peacock with flowers, write some Chinese calligraphy, and gain an insight into Chinese culture.
