This one-day workshop was attended by 10 adult beginners. After introducing Four Treasure of the Study 文房四宝 , David gave the students a demo on brushstroke techniques, ink laying, outlining, composition and calligraphy. Similarities and differences between Chinese style and Western style of painting were discussed.

Followed by a series of exercises and practices, each student was invited to compose a final painting of bamboo and panda, completed with their Chinese translated signature. Click the below link to see some impressive paintings from the students on the date.
