Me in Guilin in 1987
I first journeyed to paint in China way back in 1987.  I travelled for a month all over the country and then went and studied with artists from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing.  I then returned to paint in China in 2000 and 2002.  My latest travels here were in Sept. 2010.  You may read about some of these earlier trips at http://www.worldarttours.net/chinaarttours.html.
