Paint the classic subjects that inspired ancient Chinese masters.

This book introduces the venerable art of painting with ink on rice paper using traditional techniques developed over a thousand years ago. It is ideal for a beginner hoping to practice a large variety of techniques and subjects.

With this practical guide, you will learn to paint:
  • Towering landscapes
  • The elegant Four Gentlemen
  • Plants like bamboo, orchids, plum blossoms, and chrysanthemums
  • Five animals from the Chinese Zodiac
  • The basic strokes used in calligraphy
  • And more!
Known as a "soft martial art," brush painting is as meditative as it is artistic. As you move through the lessons and exercises, you'll gain insight into and appreciation for the symbolism, historical context, techniques, and mindfulness associated with this ancient art form.

Review

"Considered a meditative discipline to train the body, this artistic style has been used for thousands of years. This book teaches beginners step by step to paint with black watercolor or ink on white paper, working through 35 projects that include bamboo stalks, a pine tree, and a waterfall." --Litchfield Independent Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Produit conforme à sa description sur le site.

J'adore ce type de publication car il démystifie la technique de peinture chinoise, Traits, sujets variés et utilisation de l'encre. Au début, j'utilisais l'aquarelle noire par peur de rater ma peinture, mais avec les démonstrations incluses dans le livre, je suis prête à expérimenter l'encre chinoise.
