Chinese Flower Painting Through the Four Seasons

In Chinese flower painting, a flower is never merely a flower—it carries rich symbolism, stories, cultural meaning, and the spirit of the season.

This course explores seasonal subjects such as the plum blossom, orchid, lotus, and chrysanthemum.

Through lively, step-by-step guidance, we learn the materials, techniques, and expressive skills of spontaneous-style ( Xieyi ) Chinese brush painting using traditional brushes, ink, color, water, and rice paper.

Each lesson offers an engaging opportunity to discover the character and cultural significance of these timeless subjects while creating expressive seasonal paintings.
