On Saturday, Paul taught how to paint a Song Dynasty dragon step-by-step. Below is a picture of what I wanted us to achieve by the end of the day. There were lots of other examples of Dragons through time so that if students wanted to look at variations there was choice. Members also brought colours as the attached picture was only a guide. Gold tinted Dragons are definitely a thing – especially for those who are also attended the Happy Buddha workshop on Sunday!!!

On Sunday, Claire introduced students to the uplifting topic of painting Happy Buddhas. She demonstrated how to paint a variety of these jolly characters with their various traditional additions e.g. small children, big bags etc. The final example was of the Happy Buddha at the end of The Journey to the West, sitting on a celestial cloud. It was a light-hearted introduction and exploration of figure painting. We worked as large as students wanted and some brought gold paint to offer highlights…
