About This Class
Hello again!
Welcome to draw one more landscape.
This class is also about nature painting in traditional Chinese style.
The composition and technic is more suitable for skilfull artists.
The first lesson is about the composition and natural objects it consists of.
Other two lessons are devoted to drawing a classical Chinese landscape with quite lake or river, old stones and rocks with spring blossoming trees on it and small boats far away.
You may try to draw your own landscape, of your homeland nature.
The composition is quite complex with many details, but so beautiful. And you will get at the end of this complete course really good art picture.
