Yingge Xu is an ink brush artist, meditator and art teacher. From an early age Yingge learned Tai Chi, meditation and calligraphy alongside her father while receiving a traditional education in China. Later she trained at the Chinese Flower and Bird Painting Institute and continued her learning with ink brush artists from both China and Japan. Moving to Ireland in 2015, Yinnge has been teaching meditative brush painting workshops and retreats in meditation centers, art studios and local schools in Ireland and the UK.

During the 5 week brush painting journey, you will be introduced to the oriental painting materials. You will learn how to hold a brush, the body posture and how to relax your body with brush movement. You will learn how to paint bamboo and the spirit behind it, and explore various brush techniques and exercises supported with step-to-step guidance. At the end of the workshop, you will paint a bamboo piece with black ink on rice paper.

All painting tools and materials will be provided onsite
