Sunday 5th November 10.30am – 12.30
A paint-along demonstration by Desmond Chung.
Desmond showed us how to paint the lovely moon lady Chang-e and her rabbit companion. Other mythologies feature a moon rabbit.
In Desmond’s painting she is gliding through clouds holding a fan behind her and cradling her rabbit in her left arm – he is peeking back over her shoulder.
