One stroke, one breath – Painting is a state of mind

An immersion into the art of Chinese painting: brush, ink, water and rice paper as a gateway to a world of rhythm, emptiness and fullness. Step by step, participants learn the basic techniques of dots, lines and shades of ink, creating their first studies of bamboo or peony.

Each session weaves together technique and philosophy: from the first stroke as an expression of heart and hand, to the discovery of the five shades of ink, to the free composition where emptiness and completion find balance. In the end, what emerges is not only a painting, but an understanding of the inner attitude behind the art.
