Never did I think that I would ever have a chance to learn the art of Far Eastern Brush Painting. Imagine my delight when I had a chance to do this recently, hardly a five-minute walk from home!The first class was humbling, to say the least. Apart from dealing with the huge brush and the long strips of extremely uncooperative paper, I was told that I must also worry about the spaces and focus on the shapes - all done standing up for three hours on a Sunday afternoon, when most people in this part of the world enjoy a gentle snooze.
My kids thought I was crazy, my friends were impressed (after all, I am an "artist", and everybody knows they are a crazy breed). Eight weeks and as many classes later, I am proud to share some results with you.
Btw, my teacher has informed me that, maybe after another month, I may have learned a little.
