Chinese Orchid and Fuchsia Brush Painting Class with Nan Rae

We'll be painting the Chinese Orchid in the first half of the class. This subject represents Spring and The Promise of a New Life!

Although it is quite 'minimalistic,' there is much to learn that translates to other subjects: positive and negative brush strokes, composition, and the meaning of the basic strokes.

One of the Four Gentlemen or Four Seasons of Chinese Brush Painting, the Chinese Orchid represents Spring, the season of promise & new life. Purity and virtue.

Supplies are available at nanraestudio.com/supplies

Note: You can substitute any of the colors with what you have.

You'll be receiving a copy of Nan Rae's Chinese Orchid and Fuchsia class handout (pdf) a day before class via email. You'll also have the opportunity to submit your work to Nan for critique and join the class's private Facebook group.

All online classes are recorded, so if you can't make it to the live class, you can still sign-up and watch the replay of the class, which will be available a few minutes right after class. This also means that students that signed up for the class and joined live can watch the whole class again anytime!
