Product Description
The exquisite art of Chinese watercolour painting has been practised and admired for more than 1,000 years The book is conceived and created by an award-winning Chinese brush artist, who explains and illustrates in detail the necessary practical techniques of this elegant art.
The Simple Art of Chinese Brush Painting enables readers to learn with confidence how to master the brush, coloured inks and stroke techniques of brush painting. The best-known Chinese motifs are included; The Three Friends of Winter (bamboo, pine, and blossom), and "The Four Gentlemen" sacred flowers (chrysanthemum, orchids, bamboo, and plum blossom). The two key styles – academic, or formal painting, and literati, or freestyle – of brush work are covered, with examples given for both in every subject. Each of the 15 projects is illustrated with step-by-step photographs, drawings, diagrams and grid guides. Suitable both for beginners and those who are already familiar with Chinese calligraphy, the book includes full instructions on: choosing your subject; understanding its symbolic meaning; creating the delicate Chinese pastels and faded colors for your painting; working through each stroke; how to draw from life; how to draw from examples and models; applying your design in the right proportions and shape.
