The Simple Art of Chinese Brush Painting - paperback edition by Qu Lei Lei

Try one of the most expressive, ancient and beautiful art forms: Chinese brush painting. Unlike Western styles of painting, you won't be concerned with light and shade. Instead, you'll learn to use special brush-and-ink techniques to produce a clear representation of each subject's form, while at the same time expressing it's internal spirit. Collect the materials you'll need, including brushes, ink sticks and paint, then master the basic skills and four essential strokes you'll use. Paint a study of seasonal flowers or transform an ordinary paper shade into a Chinese lantern that's perfect for a sunroom. The inks can also be used to decorate anything made of wood, from a Bamboo, Blossom and Pine Screen to a Kingfisher on Lotus-Splashed Bowl.
