Zen Painting at the Chair

 Now that the sketching exhibition has finished, there's another exhibition at the Chair gallery that encourages members of the public to try their hand at an art technique.

This is as much a meditation practice as art.  The idea is to relax, breath deeply, and make either a line or a circle with the huge paintbrush.  Stacks of newspaper are provided to paint on, and there is an assistant who talks you through the process.

It was actually really good fun, and the people demonstrating the technique are very interesting to talk to.

The exhibition is on for another couple of days.
