David is very impressed by the high quality of his students’ artwork, considering this is from a 1-day workshop!
Feedback from Students
“It was well structured. I felt one exercise led to another. And I improved at the end.”
“I really enjoyed everything. I learnt that concentration is very important to use the Chinese brush. David did a very nice workshop.”
“I was really pleased to learn the traditional Chinese ways of using ink and brush. I can see me using these techniques in my practice. I like black and white / monochrome work and empty spaces. I like the pared down and economy of the materials and the processes”
“I enjoyed exploring Chinese ink techniques – using different amounts of water to create different effects. Use materials in unexpected ways. Importance of water.”
“I enjoyed the discipline of the art.”
“I have learnt the first stages of Chinese brush painting and wish to continue to learn.”
“I enjoy the informal Chinese brush art style but because it is so different from Western art, I felt unconfident.”
“I found them all difficult. Very leased with the handouts. I will have another go at home and decide whether I continue with this skill.”
“Bamboo painting is very difficult.”
“I found doing my name far more challenging. I learnt the need to practise! And that best results came with speed. I need to avoid using Western techniques initially.”
