Why not gallop into the New Chinese year?
From 17th February, be inspired by the Chinese year of the auspicious Fire Horse, which is associated with intense energy, speed, independence and significant, rapid transformation.
Develop your brush skills, build confidence in your paintings and capture the internal energy of the subject; the Chinese artists call this "Qì Yùn Shēng Dòng (气韵生动), or spirit resonance".
Select the essential "Four Treasures of the Study" (文房四寶), that can handle high-energy, expressive strokes from our range of Traditional Chinese art materials. The Horse year is for "forward motion"—making it an ideal backdrop for starting new artistic ventures, so don't delay and let the grass grow under your feet.

Our latest ARTicle
Gwen John: Strange Beauties - Recreating her Colour Palette
Gwen John was a remarkable Welsh Artist, whose paintings have a strange beauty and, on the surface, may appear deceptively simple, but is in fact subtlety complex. This is the story of how Gwen John's colour palette was recreated, and how it was used to develop a range of specially commissioned merchandise to accompany the Gwen John: Strange Beauties exhibition.
Our professional quality Gwen John painting sets and six colour watercolour mixing sets are exclusively available to purchase from the museum gift shop at the National Museum Cardiff (Amgueddfa Cymru). Why not immerse yourself in the amazing world of Gwen John and don’t miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity to see this brilliant exhibition; and we know it’s brilliant, because we have already seen it.
Gwen John: Strange Beauties is on from 7th February to 28th June 2026, bringing together rarely seen work from the collections of the National Museum and others from around the world.
