ONLINE COURSES in Oriental painting
Within the online oriental painting courses we offer two modalities:
1) - LIVE MONOGRAPHIC COURSES
2) - ONLINE COURSES WITH RECORDED VIDEOS
-------------------------------------------------------
1) - LIVE MONOGRAPHIC COURSES
- Recipients:
INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED LEVEL - People who have completed the introductory bamboo course(s); people who have attended at least two consecutive months of regular oriental painting classes or who have taken two monographic courses in the last academic year.
*Not recommended for people with any previous experience in monochrome oriental painting with Chinese ink*
- What does it consist of?
These recorded classes were conducted live and contain image projections, formal analysis of the works (nominative, descriptive and contextual), live painting, videos of masters painting classic motifs of oriental painting, playful practices, painting techniques and bibliographical references.
Since the classes are held on a weekly basis, in each class you will be able to see paintings made by different people who attended. These people have different levels of knowledge about the practice and help you to understand the expressive possibilities and become aware of the different aspects that need to be studied in depth.
- How much does it cost?
80 € - 8-class courses
40 € - 4-class courses
(price for Europe)
- How does the course end?
At the end of the month, a 15-minute session will be scheduled (via Zoom or Skype) for corrections. This session must take place in the week following the end of the month or months (depending on whether the course is 4 or 8 classes) taking into account the start date of the transfer. Once the day and time have been set, you must send a selection of three images to the email pinturajaponesa@gmail.com on which the corrections will be made.
After this date, the tutoring will be considered lost.
The interested person must contact the teacher to schedule the session.

2) - ONLINE COURSES WITH RECORDED VIDEOS
- Recipients
BEGINNER LEVEL - People who want to get started in oriental painting
- What does it consist of?
The first video of each level is a projection and image analysis of a specific bamboo that presents the degree of complexity addressed at that level.
The rest of the videos consist of a series of exercises where you can see me paint the bamboo and they grow in complexity of content.
In addition to the videos, you will receive a digital bibliography of paintings by masters.
It is important that you set aside at least one hour each week to practice the exercises in each video. Regularity and continuity of practice is what ensures conscious learning of the technique.
