CCC Traditional Art Classes Chinese Painting classes 国画 Traditional Chinese painting uses brushes, ink and watercolor on rice paper to create expressive and elegant pictures. Chinese painting has a long history and is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Among them, literati painting emphasizes comprehensive cultural cultivation, requires poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal carving to be integrated, and advocates that the painter must have character, talent, knowledge, and thought, none of which can be missing.
