Zen Painting: The Six Persimmons practice 禅画: 六柿图练习

​Description

​In this week's class, we will be looking at what defines Zen painting and what makes a "simple" persimmon composition a masterpiece. We will explore madness and enlightenment in monk-painters' works. Then, we will be practicing ink techniques in persimmon still life paintings with fundamental tools (brush, ink, paper, inkstone) in Chinese painting. 

​We will provide ink, paint, brushes, and paper for class use. You may take all the artwork you’ve produced with you!

​Every “Ink Painting Lab” is composed of lectures on Chinese ink art history, painting technique demonstration and practicing sessions.
