Explore your creative side and discover new techniques with this fun workshop experience.

Learn from an experienced local artist, who’ll teach you how to paint using traditional materials like bamboo brushes, sumi ink, Gansai Tambi 顔彩耽美 (Traditional Japanese colours), gold leaves on rice paper.

We will bring along a selection of references from the different Japanese art movements like Ukiyo-e, Rinpa School and also some Japanese contemporary artists. We will also introduce the seasonal topics that help you to capture some stunning Japanese scenes.

This painting class is suitable for beginners as well as those with a little more artistic experience, so don’t worry if it’s your first time. Your teacher will be on hand to provide guidance and answer any questions.
