Chinese ink painting - Landscapes

We paint a landscape from within, more with artistic freedom and our own character. We do not paint true to nature, but rather express our inner desired landscape. Various methods are needed to paint a lively, harmonious ink picture. One essential method is the experience of art philosophy. If we have read and listened to a lot of good literature, poems, musical melodies and rhythms in our lives, this will have a positive influence on the artistic expression of our inner ink painting. With a lively brushstroke, we can clearly express our physical and mental energy. To do this, we always need a clear idea between design and free space and a harmonious alternation between dry and wet brushstrokes. This is the essence of Chinese ink painting. By changing the brushstroke, we create three-dimensionality in our painting and thus express the beautiful Austrian landscapes with our own feelings and compose an ideal inner landscape. The essence of the spiritual landscape comes from our life experience. That is why a Chinese ink painting master says: "Nature is my teacher, clear idea comes from my soul. Using the techniques of Chinese ink painting, we will depict nature in the various colors of the season. We will use surfaces, lines and dots to depict mountains, rocks, stones, forests, various trees, waterfalls, beaches, water waves, reflections, clouds and fog in perspective and harmony. You are welcome to bring your own ink painting materials or buy them from the instructor in class. Please bring a hairdryer, several rolls of kitchen paper and two large glasses of water.
