A few weeks ago we made a journey out to the night market in Hangzhou. One of the new teachers here this year, Stephanie is a very talented artist. You can check out her work here www.stephaniebarenz.com. One of our friends a few years ago became good friends with one of the artists down at the night market. We stopped to look at his work. In China, in just about every city, you can buy copies of a few famous works. The price depends on who authentic the work you buy is. If it is a copy or actually painted by someone. This artists helps show he actually paints his work by giving you a unique piece of work after you make a person. Stephanie told him she was an artist. So he thought he would teach her how to do some Chinese work. The video is a great piece. Both because of how well Stephanie paints and also to see the Chinese master at work. His teaching style and reactions are priceless.
You can hear some good commentary from other teachers and some background noise from other sellers trying to sell things like shoes. Also notice the large crowd of people that formed to see the foreigner trying to paint.
