This day-long workshop will guide you in using Asian techniques and autumn colors to paint beautiful images like kapok flowers with birds, yellow birds on a fall tree, a tiger with bamboo, chrysanthemums, a grand canyon landscape, or gold fish with sea grass. You will also learn the calligraphy for each subject.
