Beschreibung

A Beginner's Guide to Chinese Brush Painting teaches this ancient art form in an easy-to-understand way--no prior experience necessary! As one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world, Chinese brush painting has been used for thousands of years to create images that harness the imagination, and capture the inner spirit of a subject--be it an animal, landscape or tree. All you need for this simple, but beautiful, art form is black watercolor paint, white paper, a brush and some creativity! An introduction tells you about the history of brush painting, and also gives tips for holding your brush, achieving different shades and collecting your materials. After that, the book takes you step-by-step through more than 35 hands-on activities--including basic strokes, putting them together to create an object or scene, the importance of leaving open space and even writing some Chinese calligraphy. With the help of this book, artists of all ages can learn to paint:

Bamboo stalks, branches and leaf clusters
A knotted pine tree and its delicate needles
A snail with a spiral shell and little body peeking out from underneath
A waterfall gliding down the side of a mountain
And much more!

You'll find that this activity will help you learn to center your mind and thoughts, and your masterpieces will be inspiring decorations or great gifts for friends and family. Get started learning this "soft martial art!"

Bamboo stalks, branches and leaf clusters
A knotted pine tree and its delicate needles
A snail with a spiral shell and little body peeking out from underneath
A waterfall gliding down the side of a mountain
And much more!
