Nurture creativity & bring the JOY of art into your home with The Masterpiece Society & Awaken to Delight!

In the Palace Museum in Beijing, there resides a 3 In the Palace Museum in Beijing, there resides a 39-foot-long silk scroll. And on the scroll is a painting entitled "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains." This painting was completed during the Song Dynasty in the 12th century, and is the only surviving work of a young Chinese prodigy named Wang Ximeng. 

This magnificent painting- a panoramic view of sprawling mountains, rivers, and valleys-  remains today as a testament to his extraordinary skills. In this art lesson from our Art Through the Ages course, we recreate a small portion of this piece using soft pastels. Find it on Masterpiece Society to paint a piece of history! 🖌

Just because there are no flowers blooming outdoor Just because there are no flowers blooming outdoors during the middle of winter doesn’t mean you can’t have some beautiful flowers indoors! One of my favorite things to do in February is to force various flower bulbs to bloom — and to me, paperwhites are the most beautiful! Once they are in full bloom, they give off the most delicious, heady fragrance (at least I think so…my husband doesn’t quite agree). 😉

In this lesson, we won’t have to force any bulbs; we’ll just create our own lovely mixed media paperwhites. Find this lesson in our Winter Wonderland art course to discover beauty in the winter months!🌼
