JAPANESE PAINTING: study of the plum tree INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP - Madrid Workshop for young people and adults who want to get into Japanese Painting. On this occasion we will study the plum tree, which is one of the most studied motifs in oriental painting. We will investigate the petals, the flowers, their organization and their placement on small branches. The study of this winter motif is the perfect excuse to study the pressure and the grip and load of the brush, the speed of the gesture; and the aesthetic principles that govern this ancient practice based on wisdom. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATES AND TIMES: December 1, 2024 - 10am to 2pm.
