General Information

Artist Ngan Siu-Mui is currently teaching both Group Lessons in her studio and Online Private Lessons for Chinese Calligraphy and Chinese Watercolor Painting for all art lovers over the world. The benefit of Online Lessons are to break the barriers of geography.

Traditional and creative Chinese brush strokes are taught in order to control movement, ink, water and colors on Chinese art paper. No previous art background is necessary; curiosity and an open mind is all that is needed.
