Claire regularly tutored Chinese Brush Painting courses at Knuston Hall residential college. These took place in March and October, with a Summer School in August, on both a residential and non-residential basis. Unfortunately, Knuston Hall has now closed so courses will no longer take place at this venue. Thank you to everyone who supported our courses over the years.

Autumn Waters

Loquats by Claire Seaton (after Qi Baishi)

The‌ ‌theme‌ ‌of‌ ‌this ‌course ‌was‌ ‌‘Autumn‌ ‌Waters’.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was ‌a‌ ‌celebration‌ ‌of‌ ‌Autumn,‌ ‌all‌ ‌things‌ ‌autumnal‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌final‌ ‌homage‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌Year‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Pig.‌ ‌Oranges,‌ ‌reds,‌ ‌yellows‌ ‌and‌ ‌shades‌ ‌of‌ ‌brown‌ ‌came to‌ ‌the‌ ‌fore.‌

Both‌ ‌courses‌ ‌include‌d ‌seasonal‌ ‌flowers‌ ‌and‌ ‌animals‌ ‌which‌ ‌were‌ ‌associated‌ ‌with‌ ‌the‌ ‌Autumn‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌Chinese‌ ‌Year‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Pig.‌ ‌We‌ ‌paint‌ed ‌two‌ ‌Autumn‌ ‌landscapes,‌ ‌one‌ ‌in‌ ‌each‌ ‌course.‌ ‌Our‌ ‌evening‌ ‌entertainments‌ ‌include‌d ‌a‌ ‌handy‌ ‌skill‌ for‌ ‌the‌ ‌festive‌ ‌season‌ ‌and‌ ‌a‌ ‌very‌ ‌interesting‌ ‌talk‌ ‌from‌ ‌Paul‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ Four‌ ‌Treasures‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌relevant‌ ‌DVDs.‌‌
