lotus - yuming zhuFeatured Workshop:
Soul and Sumi
 
 
Does it ever seem like what comes out on the page or canvas is not quite what you are feeling or experiencing when you observe your subject? Anyone interested in painting or drawing can learn a lot from the expressive techniques of Sumi painting.  In this two-day workshop, Seattle-area artist Yuming Zhu will teach you how to use the fundamental brush strokes of Chinese calligraphy to bring out your inner thoughts and emotions so you can paint not just what you see, but what you feel!
 
Friday and Saturday, March 28-29
10:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M.
registration: $150
10% discount on enrollment if you sign up by March 14
