The title "山中紫木筆" (Shān zhōng zǐ mù bǐ) - "Purple Wood Brush in the Mountain" is inspired by the classical Chinese name for magnolia. This name was given because the bud of the magnolia flower resembles a Chinese calligraphy brush, poetically connecting the natural form with artistic creation.

Through this class, you will learn to articulate the fine details of the magnolia petals and the graceful posture of their branches, enhancing your understanding and appreciation of this timeless art form.
