Recent reviews of Chinese Ink Brush Painting Class for Beginners

  • 5/5 from Anne Gentle, attended Aug 2023: I really enjoyed my 1st private Chinese ink class with Silka at my home, she is a calming and very grifted artist. I loved my artwork I did so much that I am booking her to teach me more and to learn Chinese calligraphy characters on a weekly basis.
  • 5/5 from Colleen Turner, attended Sep 2022: Silks, was very knowledgeable and friendly, she put you at ease. Would I recommend her? YES most definitely.
  • 5/5 from Melissa Huestis, attended Apr 2021: This was a very special class. Silka was very warm and friendly and very passionate about art. She not only taught us skills so that we left the class with our own completed paintings, but also with a positive sense of achievement as Silka was extremely encouraging. We got individual attention and guidance as we worked on our art. I had never engaged in Chinese painting before and the tools and techniques had me realise what a very special art this is - it was very mindful work that made me feel like I'd engaged in a beautiful eastern tradition.
  • 5/5 from Veronique Levy, attended Jan 2021: I spent 3 hours of peacefulness, learning about techniques, breathing, strokes, terminology all with a glass of Jasmin green tea. Silka was very patient and encouraging. She had a little powerpoint presentation which she used to support her explanations and show some existing paintings. I learned a lot and I now have enough information to start practicing trees and rocks in landscapes. A very satisfying afternoon.
  • 5/5 from Juana Bernardo, attended Nov 2020: Silka's class was excellent with a great balance of information and practical guidance. I thoroughly enjoyed the class.
