In this workshop, Yean will introduce the history, philosophy, and materials of Chinese brush painting, also known as Chinese watercolour. She will teach traditional techniques and make the process approachable through practical, step-by-step guidance.
This workshop will focus on capturing the essence of nature, flowers, birds, and landscapes through expressive brushwork. You will learn how to prepare and select brushes, ink, and rice paper, and Yean will demonstrate key techniques that show how a few well-placed strokes can convey a subject’s spirit, movement, and form.
During the course of the workshop, you will have hands-on practice with personalised feedback throughout the day. You will explore both traditional and contemporary approaches, completing your own finished paintings to take home.
What you'll get

New Brewery Arts is Cirencester’s creative heart — a vibrant cultural charity housed in the historic buildings of the former Cirencester Brewery.
After the brewery’s closure in 1937, the site fell into disuse and was nearly lost to demolition. Thanks to a visionary local group, two of the remaining buildings were restored and transformed into craft workshops, opening as Cirencester Workshops in 1978.
Its mission is to champion craft — making it, learning it, and supporting the people who do it. Its courses, workshops, makers’ studios, 100% UK-made craft shop, and café all contribute to a vibrant creative hub at the heart of Cirencester.
