What is chinoiserie!? (shin-wuh-zuh-ree)
What is chinoiserie!?
(shin-wuh-zuh-ree)
It’s a decorative painting style inspired by centuries-old Chinese art, filled with elegant birds, blossoms and winding branches. We'll paint using the traditional two brush method to create gorgeous brushwork and details.
This may be a style you’ve admired in grand interiors or period dramas. Perhaps you never knew what it was called, you just knew you loved it!
This week, you’ll discover this magical art and all the wonderful ways it could change your life!
What's inside...
Your pre-recorded lessons will be delivered daily by email, giving you the freedom to paint at your own pace. You’ll also get replay access!
