If you can help by typing in Word please contact the China Eye Editor.
With its disciplined approach and yet very versatile possibilities, Chinese brush painting holds exciting potential for many artists and budding artists. Success depends on having the right equipment and a willingness to learn the fundamental brushstrokes and basic techniques such as holding the brush in the correct way.
We meet every other Monday at the Middleton Institute, Barleycroft Lane, Dinnington (south east of Rotherham, M1 Junction 31), at 6.45 to 9.00 p.m. There is a small charge for tuition but tea/coffee are provided.
