Chinese Flower Painting Made Easy
Description:
The unique teaching method in this lovely book makes it easy for all artists to create richly colored paintings in classic Chinese style.
A wisteria petal created with a single brush stroke. A hydrangea composed of an arrangement of “dots” and “long dots.” Rebecca Yue conveys the essence of Chinese brush flower painting in simple steps, so even a beginner can create a beautiful picture after only a few days’ practice. Using a toolkit of only 4 brushes, paper, and ink, and starting with such basics as wrist movements, budding artists will quickly start painting vivid, realistic flower heads, leaves, and stems, then bring the parts together into complete daffodils, chrysanthemums, water lilies, peonies, and other familiar flowers. At the end, a gallery of beautiful flowers in all their glory offers both inspiration and instruction, with a complete explanation of the techniques used to paint each one.
