Description
Tibetan Art Drawing Workshop (4 week program)
Bloom into creativity this winter with Venerable Lobsang Konchok (Traditional Thangka Painter & Tibetan Artist)
A gentle, focused journey into the elegance of Tibetan floral design.
Explore the beauty, color, and delicate linework of Tibetan flower art.
Immerse yourself in the gentle beauty and refined craftsmanship of Tibetan floral art in this four‑week drawing course led by Venerable Lobsang Khonchuk, a master artist trained in the traditional lineage of thangka painting.
Across June, you’ll explore the elegant lines, flowing forms, and symbolic motifs that shape Tibetan lotus flowers, blossoms, and decorative floral patterns seen throughout sacred artworks.
Each week builds your skills step by step, beginning with foundational shapes and proportions before moving into more detailed petals, shading techniques, and traditional Tibetan stylisation. Venerable Lobsang Khonchuk will offer personalised guidance as you learn to balance precision with creative expression, developing confidence in your own artistic rhythm.
Throughout the course, you’ll discover how Tibetan artists use flowers to convey beauty, harmony, and the natural unfolding of the mind. You’ll practise traditional drawing methods, experiment with colour and form, and gradually create your own refined floral compositions.
This course is perfect for complete beginners, returning students, and experienced artists wanting to deepen their understanding of Tibetan artistic traditions. All materials are provided, and each participant will finish the course with a collection of completed drawings and a deeper appreciation for the grace and meaning behind Tibetan floral design.
A calm, creative journey into the elegance, color, and storytelling of Tibetan art.
Across four Thursday afternoons in June, you will be guided through the traditional techniques used to draw Tibetan lotus flowers, blossoms, and floral motifs found throughout thangka painting. Learn step‑by‑step methods, practice sacred proportions, and develop confidence in your own creative flow.
By the end of the 4 weeks you will take home your very own flower ink print on a beautiful Tibetan scroll.
All materials provided.
Tea/coffee and afternoon tea provided.
