Chinese Brush Painting of orchid and chrysanthemum

The morning's labour was replaced in the afternoon by attending my lessons in Chinese brush painting. First came a reminder of how to paint orchids in the xieyi style. This was followed by learning to paint chrysanthemums in the same style. Mrs Evans, my teacher, had to show the process several times as, whilst appearing deceptively simple - an accumulation of similar strokes - sufficeint variation had to be introduced to give a natural appearance.

This was also the first day without a headache since last week! Bliss.
