If you are really interested in it, or want to take it as a major, I still suggest you go to the teacher. At present, the most famous Chinese painting teacher in Ji 'an should be Mr. Cheng from the Fine Arts Department of Beijing University. He used to be the curator of Ji 'an County Cultural Center. I don't know if he is retired now, you can ask him. He is relatively friendly.
I hope you can learn something, come on! There are not many people studying Chinese painting now, and it is a very good choice to cultivate sentiment.
