The people on the trip were really nice and it was fun to spend some time drawing. The trip hired a Chinese art teacher. It could have been interesting, but his English was pretty bad and he was really nervous so he didn't say much that was useful.We went to a a pretty temple the first day and they gave us a bunch of art supplies. We spent a few hours drawing. I ignored his lesson and did my own drawing. The second day we hiked up a mountain but didn't find a good spot to draw so we drew by the lake instead. Since it is a tourist spot tons of people crowded around us to watch us draw. It was like they thought we were street performers... foreigners painting, probably an unusual sight.
We had the traditional Chinese banquet meals. I was really happy another woman on the trip, Nishi, was also vegetarian so we sat together and ordered some decent vegetarian foods.
I really enjoyed meeting the other people on the trip and having a chance to paint.
