Description

Chinese brush painting uses minimal strokes to describe the essence of a subject matter and capture its rhythm and grace. This beautiful book incorporates 200 exquisite motifs to re-create, from flowers and fruits to flora and fauna and scenery. This book starts with a brief history of Chinese painting styles, followed by a chapter on materials, tools, and basic techniques. The heart of the book is a directory of 200 motifs, starting with the “Four Gentlemen”?”the bamboo, orchid, plum, blossom and crysanthemum. Chinese painting courses regularly begin with the Four Gentlemen because the wide variety of strokes required to paint each and every of them provides a catalog of strokes that can then be used to paint some other subject.The Chinese Brush Painting Bible is especially designed for artists of all levels, beginner to advanced, who wish to hone their skills in a specific style of artwork. The books are 6.5in x 8in, hardcover with an internal spiral binding so they lay open flat as readers follow the steps on their own canvas. This book is beautifully illustrated and incorporates hundreds of colorful pieces of artwork, photographs, and helpful diagrams. Step by step instructions lend a hand guide artists through the learning process.
