About This Workshop
In the 1960s, influenced by the modern ink master Lui Shou Kwan, Irene Chou was keen on seeking new ideas and infiltrated the style of Western abstract expressionism into her ink paintings. She liked to experiment different painting techniques. With reference to classic Chinese splash ink method and the water halo method, Chou created a new visual effect to Chinese ink art with a new abstract and innovative painting.

In this workshop, the instructor will use the water halo method of Irene Chou as a model to teach how to use water and ink to create abstract paintings in Chinese ink painting style on rice paper.

關於工作坊
周綠雲在60年代銳意求新，受當時現代水墨大師呂壽琨影響尤甚，畫風中滲入了西方的抽象表現主義的痕跡。她亦喜歡嘗試不同畫法。參照中國古代潑墨畫法和水暈法，創作出抽象且創新的畫面，給傳統水墨截然不同的視覺效果。

在這次的工作坊，導師會以周綠雲的水晕法為範本，教授如何用水和墨在宣紙創作出具中國水墨畫風格的抽象畫。
