Shui Shui Zi’s Ancient Style Group Training is a recurring group class on ancient Chinese style character illustration, and Episode 4 (2024) is built around the theme “All Things Have Spirits.” The idea is to give spirit and personality to the natural world by turning animals and plants into elegant characters: the artwork for this session shows figures in traditional Chinese costume with cat and fox ears, maple leaves and flowers in their hair, and richly ornamented jewelry, headpieces and embroidered robes. The class follows the artist’s soft, colorful style of character painting, and the course brushes are included.
