Yun Yang, an expert of Chinese ink painting and member of the Chinese Artists Association, will lead us to explore Chinese painting from historical to modern times. This talk will begin with a brief introduction on the history of Chinese ink painting, followed by a live demonstration of ink painting techniques, including a rare opportunity for those in attendance to try out their own hand. By the end of this talk, the audience will learn how to complete their own bird-and-flower painting, a traditional subject of Chinese art.
