5.00I took classes in Chinese calligraphy and flowers in watercolor during my stay in Beijing and it was a wonderful experience. The teacher is incredibly talented, patient and generous in sharing his knowledge. I learned not only traditional painting techniques, but also a different way of observing, breathing and connecting with the stroke. The Mood was quiet and very inspiring, with excellent quality materials and personalized attention. I recommend these classes to anyone who loves art or just wants to live a moment of calm and creativity in the middle of the trip. An experience that I carry in my heart.
Very recommended class
