An Jiu Jing Mo Shui Hua Ke Cheng may give the sense of opening the door into silent mornings, dirty fingers, and spontaneous aha moments. The big question generally strikes prematurely. But what about the brush moving at home behind a screen, or even a common table and others looking in? Register for upcoming sessions and visit here now.
Flexibility is appreciated by those who attend online ink painting classes. It is alright to paint at midnight in pajamas. Pause the video. Undo the brush stroke that has gone wrong. Repeat it five times. No one sighs. No one waits. This arrangement is like a back-door to the parents, night owls or those with odd schedules. Lessons are usually divided into brief portions, which is appropriate to short attention span.
Learning by themselves is also freeing. Mistakes stay private. The ink stains where it does not belong, it is all alright. You laugh, mop it up, and move on. The splashing of ink was once joked by one of the students that their cat learned more about mountains than ink. Distance education welcomes such havoc.
Still, screens have limits. Feedback arrives later. Sometimes it’s typed. Sometimes it’s vague. You may ask yourself whether you have a brush angle that is incorrect or you think that today the paper is simply in a bad mood. Small habits are glued without the scrutiny of the teacher on your shoulder.
Face-to-face classes speak otherwise. There is a slight odor of ink and rice paper in the room. You listen to brushes striking cups. Someone sighs. Someone grins. Two fingers on your wrist are manipulated by the teacher. That moment matters. Corrections happen fast. You do not hear them, you feel them.
There is also the sharing of energy. A daring act on the part of a classmate can create courage. The struggle of another individual makes you realize that frustration is not a bad thing. Discussion between washes. “Did yours bleed too?” “Yeah, like a rainy sidewalk.” Education is shared such as cooking as a group rather than looking at a recipe.
Naturally, face-to-face courses required dedication. Fixed times. Travel. Miss a session, and it’s gone. Others become paralyzed with eyes on them. The brush shakes. The ink rebels.
