Portia recently returned from studying in China with Professor Su of Beijing University Art Dept. and shared a new technique of painting landscapes that is popular in China. The technique involves crinkling the rice paper in specific directions to create textures and then touching only the tops of the crinkles with the side of the brush, allowing the white of the paper to persist. Washes of color are added.[/fusion_text][/two_third]
