PSA-China Pastel Exchange Update: 1st China (Suzhou) Biennial International Pastel Art Exhibition (October 23, 2014, morning) Today was a plein air event more in keeping with a portion of my own studio and teaching practice, drawing with pastel figures from life. The Suzhou KunQu Opera Garden was the setting. First was a performance of a Chinese opera scene in a small theater. Second was a concert by an eight girl band playing the pipa, a pear shape lute that has been a popular instrument for two thousand years. After the performance, we were lead through a labyrinth of corridors, passageways with screened windows looking onto the garden and emerged in the open space of opera garden. There two costumed young women, opera students, modeled for two hours for the visiting western artists.
