Wang Jianan and Cai Xiaoli, Editors
A Practical Guide to Painting Skills and Techniques of China and the Far East
The graceful, expressive brush painting that characterizes the art of the Far East is admired throughout the world. Oriental Painting Course, edited by two of mainland China's most distinguished artists, shows readers, step by step, how to duplicate the distinct brush styles of China, Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, and Japan. Each hands-on lesson allows the artist to produce a finished work, and progresses from the basics of holding the brush and making simple strokes to advanced uses of color and complex compositions.
This practical guide also includes interesting background on the history and philosophy of Oriental brush painting, dozens of surefire tips for applying this genre to a variety of artistic techniques, and much more.
Wang Jianan and Cai Xiaoli are the recipients of a multitude of awards for their art. Wang Jianan founded the first independent art studio in China. Since immigrating to England in 1987, both artists have exhibited internationally.
