About

Chinese Brush Painting

Dating back many thousands of years, with its roots in the brush strokes of Chinese Calligraphy, Chinese Brush Painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. It has a long and noble history which we will tell you more about as this site develops...

It takes time to master the skills and techniques required to capture the life and spirit within a painting, making it live through the brush of the painter and the eyes of the viewer.

I have been practising Chinese Brush Painting for almost 30 years since I met and studied with Professor Su-Liang Tseng. I enjoy painting birds and landscape in particular and am a great admirer of the work of the artists of the Song Dynasty. I teach regularly for the LCBP group and all over England by request.

After a teaching career covering more than 45 years, I am now concentrating on tutoring Chinese Brush Painting. I was a tutor at Knuston Hall residential college from 2017 until it closed in 2022.

I first became interested in Chinese Brush Painting more than 20 years ago. I was fortunate that my first teacher and mentor was Pauline Cherrett who gave me the best of introductions to this field of painting at Knuston Hall. I then studied with her for the next 18 years and she asked me to take over the course at Knuston as she headed toward a well-earned retirement.

I have gone on to study with Qu Leilei, Shuhua Jin, Kaili Fu, Xiao Bei Li, Jane Evans, Jane Dwight, Maggie Cross and others.

I enjoy painting animals and still life in particular and I am a great admirer of the work of Qi Baishi and Fu Hua.

I have run workshops nationwide, including for the LCBP Group.

I feel very lucky to be able to pass on my love of CBP to others.
