ABOUT THE COURSE:
Discover Minhwa, traditional Korean folk painting, in a four-week online course led by Minhwa artist and educator Stephanie S. Lee. Learn traditional painting techniques step by step from the comfort of your home, with live demonstrations and guidance throughout the course.
Known for its vivid colors, symbolic imagery, and distinctive painting techniques, Minhwa often features animals, flowers, nature, and everyday objects that carry stories and cultural meaning.
Over four weeks, you'll create two different Minhwa tiger paintings: the traditional Tiger & Magpie and the playful Big Grin Tiger, with its wide smile and bright white teeth.
You'll work from prepared drawings and practice traditional techniques including brush control, layering, color application, and barim, a shading technique used to create gradual transitions of color. No prior painting or Minhwa experience is needed.
With four weeks to work on both paintings, you'll have time to develop your techniques, explore colors and details, and receive individual guidance from Stephanie. You'll also have opportunities to ask questions and learn more about Korean folk art throughout the course.
