I recently visited China to go to the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, Beijing with 5 other West Australian Artists.
We spent a great week with Prof Huang and his students. We hosted a Watercolour Exchange Exhibition along with the Professor and Students. We also visited the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden Palace in Beijing. The Professor is an amazing watercolourist in the realist style, and his students are following in his footsteps. The food in Beijing was delicious and we spent long lunches and dinners trying new places to eat.
Our second week we got the Train to Shanghai and the Chinese Government hosted a second exhibition for us in Nantong which is south of Shanghai. There was much ceremony at our Exhibition opening, ribbon cutting, newspapers and TV were there too!
I would love to return to Beijing and see more of the City and go back to the Uni - they were so friendly and accommodating....not to mention insanely talented!
