Chinese textbook illustrations

A selection of some paintings made for a Chinese language textbook “Kiinaa Kivasti”-《开心学中文》. The book is edited and made by Rita Wen-chin Jäske, who is teaching Chinese language at school in Helsinki. It is special book, because appears to be the first local Chinese language teaching book for primary school students in Finland, based on author’s experience in teaching Chinese to local kids.

For me illustration work was lasting for a few months, starting from last October. Happy that the book is now ready!

If the weather will be not very freezing I will perform some ink paintings on the spot, too.

There will be some of ceramic figurines of Chinese theme, like beautiful flute playing girls and dragons, and even small cups and pendants.
