Sue Wang

Sue Wang is originally from Taiwan, where her education began with handwriting lessons. After coming to the U.S., she attended Chinese Brush Painting classes at LSU and later sought instruction with Margaret Koai. She has since expanded her skills and style as a regular with the Art Guild of Louisiana and Baton Rouge Plein Air, but Chinese Painting has always been her first love.

Description

Come learn the beautiful time-honored technique of Chinese Brush Painting with Sue Wang. Fourteen students will enjoy step-by-step demonstrations from the instructor as they work on three separate pieces: Bamboo, an Orchid, and Chinese Word Art (painting the Chinese word for “Forever”). Students will learn how to hold the brush properly, basic strokes, moisture control, pressure, and ink gradation as they capture and paint traditional forms using outlines and freehand, ultimately becoming confident creating artwork in the Chinese art style. The instructor will provide paper needed to complete the works. Refer to Supply List for additional required items.
