From the neon-lit urban jungle of the big city to the authentic beauty of nature’s forest, colour and composition are integral to capturing the vibe of both cityscape and landscape. How to accentuate the majesty of skyscrapers, the sleek lines of modern architecture, the lushness of trees or the curvature of a bird’s body? This course will show you! 

Using felt tip markers, paints, and oil pastels, children will: 

- Enliven black and white images with colour and shape 

- Learn paint mixing techniques to create different shades and tints 

- Consider composition and placement of elements in an artwork 

- Sketch on a black painted layer using a scratch tool to create dynamic contrast against a dark background

Tutor 

Virginia Lo   

With a major in painting, Virginia graduated from the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) and Master of Fine Art programmes jointly presented by Hong Kong Art School and the RMIT University. Prior to that, she learned landscape painting under the tutelage of Chinese painting masters Mr Liang Boyu and Mr Luo Zushan. She further studied character-painting with painting master Luo Guanxi. Virginia is currently a part-time lecturer at the Hong Kong Art School.    

With painting being her primary medium, she explores her relationships and feelings with different places through landscape art. She incorporates whimsical and quirky characters, infusing the scenery with a mysterious and imaginative presence that piques curiosity.  

Virginia’s solo exhibitions include Throbbing Soul (2023), Shangri-La (2022) and A Place is Telling Its Story (2017). She has also exhibited as part of a group in Lasting Impressions (2023) and Hong Kong Art School 20th Anniversary Exhibition, XX (2019). Another achievement has been planning and executing the painting course in Precious Moment – Community Art Education Project (2020), where group exhibitions were facilitated after each painting course.  Virginia has further participated in the K11 Kollection Lab programme (2016 & 2019), conducting art workshops and art tours for children.
