This year the Dharma Art classes will be focusing on learning how to use gouache for painting sacred images. Although gouache was not used traditionally, it is a medium that western students new to thangka painting are introduced to initially. We will be covering mixing colours, dry shading and wet blending.
There will be an opportunity for participants to learn to draw and paint landscape elements, some of the auspicious symbols and paint a previously drawn Buddha face when they have built some painting skills through practice.
People new to dharma art are welcome to join, you just need to be open and flexible to the experience, apply patient and persistent effort, and be dedicated to practice this application of Tibetan Buddhist teaching.This year the Dharma Art classes will be focusing on learning how to use gouache for painting sacred images.
