This morning I have been lucky enough to attend classes on Chinese painting and calligraphy. We have the pleasure of being taught by two very distinguished artists. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the painter. How rude of me! He is very good though. The calligraphy teacher is called Pu Sui (Por Shore). He is also a well know painter. He has been studying calligraphy since he was ten years old. Did you know that there are four types of Chinese calligraphy. They date back from 1000 to 4000 years ago. As you will see by the photo's I tried my hand at everything and am particularly proud of my lobsters and bamboo. I had to concentrate hard and got covered in ink, but found it very relaxing.
