Excellent experience - Li was an excellent instructor, he gave lots of tips and helped us to make the best watercolor painting we could. We liked it so much that we stayed to take another class with him and learn Chinese calligraphy. Great experience, would do again.

Therapeutic and fun class! - Richard was very patient and communicated well! We learned some simple water color techniques and painted a lovely fan after practicing the techniques. It was very calming after 2 days of touring around crowded Beijing for 2 days.

Painting class, tea/area tour - Richard the instructor was extremely friendly. He taught us how to paint and we did lots of different painting in the session. The whole shop was so kind and chatty

Not just for tourists... great for expats/locals too! - My friends and I loved every minute of this experience with Richard! Richard was an amazing teacher. His patience and passion made the whole morning such a wonderful and relaxing experience. We were shocked to look at our phones and realize that 1.5 hours had passed in what felt like a blink. We are not tourists and have lived in Beijing for many years but this was our first experience with this Chinese art form. I would definitely recommend this class for tourists OR expats/locals. You definitely won't be disappointed!

He is a very kind teacher and it was such a peaceful experience drinking tea and painting, I loved every minute of it, if I was staying longer I would love to do it again. I would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Beijing! Such a great thing to experience!!
