From Art Tutor Studio:

In recent years, silk painting has reemerged as one of the most distinctive mediums in Vietnamese fine art, gaining increasing recognition among both local and international artists. Notably, several Vietnamese silk paintings have reached million-dollar prices at major international auctions, affirming the unique artistic and cultural value of this traditional medium.

To provide artists with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the techniques and essence of silk painting, and to learn authentic Indochine-style methods, we are offering this Advanced Silk Painting Workshop this November.

This 12-session course offers in-depth, specialist practice in Vietnamese traditional silk painting techniques, guided by Dr. Lê Xuân Dzũng — lecturer at the Vietnam University of Fine Arts, and PhD in Chinese Landscape Painting (Shanshui) from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), Beijing.

The techniques will be practiced following the original methods developed by the silk painting artists of the Indochine School of Fine Arts. Throughout the course, participants will practice the entire process of creating a silk painting, including:
– Selecting and preparing silk
– Sketching
– Stretching silk on a frame
– Transferring and outlining on silk
– Dyeing and washing techniques
– Mounting and finishing the artwork
– Issues related to display and preservation
The workshop delves deeply into the key technical aspects of Vietnamese traditional silk painting.
It is a special program designed for artists who are currently practicing —or planning to work with silk.

A detailed weekly schedule will be shared via email after registration.
