Instructor: Linda Schultz
Chinese Brush Painting is a simplistic and meditative way to paint. Using the “Four Treasures”: the brush, the ink, the ink stone, and the paper, one can learn the painting techniques
to create the “Four Gentlemen”: the bamboo, the orchid, the plum and the chrysanthemum. Each “Gentleman” introduces a new stroke or idea and reinforces techniques already learned. Come and watch a demonstration and try your hand at it.
Linda Schultz is a retired art educator. She holds an MS in art education from the State University of New York and a Certificate of Completion from the Art Farm Gallery for Studies in Chinese Brush painting studying with Professor I-Hsiung Ju. Additionally, she has studied with master teachers Leigh Wen of
Albany, NY, Sungsook Setton of Setauket, Long Island and with master painters at the Art Institute in Jang Yin, China. Since 1995, Linda has given numerous demos, classes and workshops in Chinese Brush painting throughout the northeast area to students of all ages.
