"A good Chinese brush painter is someone who has learned how to let the brush do the work." Artist Jane Evans presents this instructional program, Introduction to Chinese Brush Painting, leading beginners through the early steps of the graceful Chinese art in simple, enjoyable sessions that will also be of interest to more advanced painters. The lessons start with traditional-style painting of the "four friends" (plum blossom, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and orchid), then continue to more complicated subjects such as birds, fish, ducks, pandas, rocks, and landscapes.
