How to Paint COVID-19 Pandemic with Chinese Brush Painting34

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on our lives, changing the way we live, work, and interact with each other. As an artist, I have found painting to be a therapeutic way to process my thoughts and feelings about the pandemic. In this tutorial, I will share with you how I painted a Chinese brush painting of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials:* Rice paper
* Chinese brush
* Black ink
* Red ink
* Green ink
* Water

Instructions:1. Prepare the rice paper. Wet the rice paper with water and then blot it dry with a paper towel. This will help the ink to adhere to the paper.
2. Paint the background. Using a large brush, paint the background of the painting with black ink. Start by painting a light wash of ink and then gradually add more ink to create a darker background.
3. Paint the virus. Using a smaller brush, paint the virus in the center of the painting. The virus can be painted in any shape or form, but I chose to paint it as a round, spiky ball.
4. Paint the people. Using a variety of brush strokes, paint the people who are affected by the virus. I painted some people as being sick and others as being healthy. I also painted some people as being wearing masks and others as not wearing masks.
5. Paint the symbols of hope. In the foreground of the painting, I painted some symbols of hope, such as a rainbow and a dove. I also painted the words "hope" and "love" in Chinese characters.
6. Add details. Once the main elements of the painting are complete, you can add details to help bring it to life. I added some flowers, trees, and mountains to the background. I also added some highlights and shadows to the people and the virus.
7. Sign and date the painting. Once you are satisfied with the painting, sign and date it in the corner.

Here are some additional tips for painting a Chinese brush painting of the COVID-19 pandemic:* Use a variety of brush strokes to create different effects. For example, you can use a light, dry brush to create a soft, ethereal look, or you can use a heavy, wet brush to create a bold, dramatic look.
* Experiment with different colors to create different moods. For example, you can use a bright, cheerful color to create a hopeful painting, or you can use a dark, somber color to create a more serious painting.
* Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Chinese brush painting is a forgiving medium, and you can always paint over mistakes.

I hope this tutorial inspires you to create your own Chinese brush painting of the COVID-19 pandemic. Painting can be a therapeutic way to process your thoughts and feelings about the pandemic, and it can also be a beautiful way to commemorate this historic event.
