Oriental brush painting classes

There is only three more weeks left in this session of oriental brush painting classes. This is a great time of year for painting with so many flowers in bloom. 
 The next session will start June 21st if anyone wants to give this style of art a try.www.darlenekaplan.com

Good new is that I opened a new class day on Wednesdays and it is almost full.

Oriental brush painting workshop

Just returned home from a fabulous one day oriental brush painting workshop.  Everyone was fantastic and so eager to learn this style of art. When 30 people sign up then that is the maximum compliment they can show me.  Here is an image of some of the students, many left before I could round them up for a group photo.  www.darlenekaplan.com
