Painting Classes

During this unique art experience you will be able to paint your own masterpiece guided by an Italian Maestro in the placid atmosphere of the lake with spectacular views. Art meets wine during a wine tasting event in the relaxed atmosphere of the lake at the end of the painting session.  No matter if you never held a paintbrush in your hand before or if you are a skilled painter, creating your own artwork is about relaxing your soul and releasing your emotions

Combine your Old Beijing sightseeing experience with several different cultural activities on this immersive, multi-part tour. Meet your guide directly at your hotel, and travel to Beijing's hutongs - traditional alleyways and courtyard dwellings that have been a part of the city for centuries. In addition to a sightseeing tour of the area, you'll also take part in a Chinese opera mask-painting session, followed by a tea ceremony. For an upgrade, you can also add a traditional, local meal to your itinerary.

I'm an artist and 10-year resident of San Francisco. I studied visual art at South China Normal University and Sonoma State University. My work is a dynamic encounter with nature, perception and the many challenges that lead us towards a place of insight and learning. My more recent work explores meditative states and healing arts. I paint as I live - with the intention of showing that life is about realizing possibilities.

You will learn how to make a fresco, and you will have a fabulous time! Take your masterpiece home! If parents do not participate they may take pictures!
