Chinese Brush Painting Through the Seasons

Chinese Brush Painting is a traditional style of painting that has been evolving over many centuries. In this book you'll learn to use ink and colour pigments to paint onto paper or the more traditional rice paper or silk. An important part of Chinese Brush Painting is in the holding and directing of the brush in the right way to produce strokes that are delicate and refined. The four co-authors of this book Miao Hongbo, Sun Changgang, Ning Xiangying and Ning Jialu are particularly gifted proponents of this style, which has links to traditional calligraphy.  Concepts and areas that Chinese brush painting typically include are themes such as birds, plants and flowers, landscapes, fruit and vegetables and fish. This book will explore these themes through the four seasons, so we have the peony depicted in spring, the lotus flower in summer, the vegetable harvest in autumn and the bamboo bud in winter. Much of these paintings are symbolic of things like good fortune, auspiciousness, good health, a long life, a good harvest, a flourishing family, wealth and immortality. You'll follow step-by-step instructions with illustrations to help, including an introduction explaining the tools and materials needed to achieving some stunning effects.
