Tim Loh's Paintings 陸天樞繪室

I am an enthusiast of Chinese Brush Painting and I would like to share my trials and tribulations in learning the craft. I want to document the process, the inspiration and the weird ideas behind my projects and to address some of the nuances related to this dicipline. I hope to create a dialogue and stir up some interest in the art of painting with a Chinese brush on Xuan. In any case, it would be interesting to see my own evolution as time progresses.

Like Child's Play

I had a chance to work on painting with a bunch of kids ranging from around 9 to 15 years old. Painting was not part of the curriculum nor was art a particular interest for these kids. They were participants because they were told to. They didn't have any say in this. Nonetheless one always finds gems in the rough in any group.

There were a total of about 45 kids divided into 3 groups, and despite the fact that they were told in a step-by-step fashion as to what to paint, their own interpretations nonetheless came through. Their innocence can be so endearing.
