Our next Create and Sip with Alexis Starke is coming up on Thursday, September 24th. We will be creating a landscape with black and colored India Inks inspired by Chinese artist Zhang Daqian (1899 - 1983). Zhang Daqian (or Chang Dai-chien) was one of the best-known and most prodigious Chinese artists of the twentieth century. He began working in a more traditional Chinese landscape style but later incorporated elements of modern impressionism and expressionism.
