…..days 38 and 39
I started these late last night and then finished in the wee hours of this morning. So I guess that still counts as a painting a day.
I’ve always liked the simplicity of Chinese Brush Painting but there’s nothing simple about it. I can see why Chinese artists take years to master their craft. I took this book out of the library as a reference. It’s beautifully illustrated but I’ve discovered that I’m not very good at following directions from a book. I’m in too much of a hurry to take the time to read all the directions. I’m much better with a video demonstration but I did enjoy this process so I think I will go back and read some of the chapters.




Very nice and definitely ambitious!

There are so many things I want to do in art that I feel I’m losing my focus when I try all these different techniques but on the other hand I love trying new things. Oh what’s a person to do.

This is my exact “dilemma” as well. I began Chinese Brush Painting last year, but didn’t do much without getting distracted by other things. Lately, I have been wanting to get back to it. 🙂
Your paintings are lovely.

It is the first lesson in the book and for me the easiest to do. Thanks for commenting. I always appreciate your input.

It is and I’m hoping when I find my set of Chinese brushes that my son brought back from China I’ll have even better success.

I’m sure there are lots of books out there on this subject. I would check your local library first and if you find one you really like, then you can purchase it.
