About us

Oxfordshire Chinese Brush Painting Group (OCBPG) was set up several years ago by a group of enthusiasts who wanted to learn more about this fascinating art form, and practise their developing skills together. The aim of the group is to promote Chinese Brush Painting in all its’ forms. We do this by meeting regularly, holding workshops, talks and visits and organising exhibitions of members’ work.

In addition, we organise a programme of day workshops from experienced Chinese Brush Painting tutors throughout the year. In 2018 and 2019, we held one day Workshops, including one with the international artist, Qu Leilei, one of the original members of the Stars Art Movement in China in the 1970’s and 80’s.

In 2018, we began exhibiting our work and now regularly take part in Oxfordshire Artweeks.

We hold regular monthly meetings on the fourth Thursday of the month from 1pm to 4pm in the excellent facilities of Stanton Harcourt Village Hall. Here, you can get support from friendly like-minded people, borrow books from our excellent Library, and, we stock some basic Chinese Art Supplies for members to buy at cost.

We are a warm and welcoming community and you are more than welcome to contact us if you would like to try out this beautiful art form, or if you are a more experienced painter and want to share your skills and learning with others.

  1. Hello

    I am very interested in finding out more about your group and I return from my travels in NZ and Australia on 20 March 2020.

    What would be the best approach?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    1. Hi Annice,

      Nice to hear from you. We’re taking bookings from members of the national Chinese Brush Painting Society first, then will open up any remaining places to others. If you’re a member of CBPS, go to OCBP.art@gmail.com to register.

      Let me know if you would like more information about OCBPG. We’re running weekly Zoom sessions for members. Best wishes, Tricia
