We’re Floating Art, a small arts business based in the North. We’ve been teaching people how to paint here for over 7 years now. At our workshops you’ll be taught by a practicing artist Ula Fung.. You'll learn some basics of a Japanese Painting style known as Nihonga (日本画) and teach you how to paint using traditional materials that includes bamboo brushes, sumi ink, Gansai Tambi 顔彩耽美 (Traditional Japanese colours), gold leaves on rice paper. The seasons are a big part of Japanese culture and for that reason we keep the themes and topics of our workshops seasonal. We’ll bring a large selection of topical references from a wide range of Japanese Artists, both classic and contemporary. Most of our students are beginners. This painting class is suitable for people of all painting abilities,so don't worry if it's your first time. Ula will be on hand to provide guidance and answer any questions. At the end of your art class, you'll get the chance to stand back and admire your beautiful Japanese painting.
