Mineral pigment painting and gongbi painting each carry their own distinctive artistic language and historical lineage. This course begins with the Song dynasty classic flower-and-bird painting Camellias and Butterflies. While preserving its elegant forms and refined composition, participants will freely reinterpret it through the expressive language of contemporary mineral pigment painting.
Over three days, participants will not only savour the subtle and exquisite spirit of Song dynasty flower-and-bird art, but also explore in depth the rich textures, luminosity, and layered depth of mineral pigments. You will master key techniques, including raised powder (li fen), glazing, surface polishing, and gold leaf application.
By the end of the workshop, every participant will complete a unique mineral pigment artwork that harmoniously blends classical elegance with contemporary aesthetics — a piece to treasure and take home.
This workshop will be hosted by HART Studio Artist Elsa Ngai.
岩彩與工筆畫各具獨特的藝術語言與歷史脈絡。本課程以宋代經典花鳥畫《山茶蝴蝶圖》出發，在保留其優美造型與構圖的基礎上，自在地轉化為當代岩彩花鳥的表現形式。
透過三天的學習，參加者不僅能品味宋人花鳥精妙入微的神韻，更能深入探索礦物顏料的質感與光影效果，學習立粉、罩染、分染、打磨、貼金等技法。
課程結束時，每位參加者都將完成一幅融合古典意蘊與當代審美的岩彩花鳥作品，帶回家中珍藏。
是次工作坊將由 HART 工作室藝術家魏舍椏主持 。

About the Artist 關於藝術家
Elsa Ngai graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor of Arts in 2024. Her graduation work explores the boundary between reality and illusion through the reconfiguration of memory images, constructing an unsettling psychological world beneath a calm exterior. Her works often involve stacking and polishing mineral pigments to blur the sense of time, using intuition and sketches to express the aura of objects.
魏舍椏於2024年獲得香港中文大學藝術學士學位，其畢業作品通過回憶意像的重組，探索真與幻之間的界限，建構平靜表象下不安的心理世界。她的作品常以礦物顏料堆疊與打磨，模糊作品的時間性，並運用直覺和寫生線條表現事物的靈光。
