In traditional Chinese culture, poetry and painting were different expressions of the same art, brought together by men of letters who painted to give light to their poetic ideas. The apparently simple colours and spontaneous brush strokes, the subtle balance of shape and space within the composition, the emphasis on narrowly~defined subject matter, all create a visual poetry only found in Chinese art. This book, by a Chinese artist and teacher, interprets the unfamiliar materials and techniques of Chinese painting to introduce the reader to a new world of artistic expression. Step~by~step, beginning with the simplest strokes, the author shows how to create, and then refine, the flowers, trees, birds and other elements central to Chinese painting. She goes on to demonstrate how to combine those separate elements in bigger compositions; the many finished paintings in the book offer inspiration to the student seeking to expand an existing talent. Throughout, the illustrations are allowed to speak for themselves, so that the student may concentrate on copying the brush strokes and style of the experienced artist. Based on the author's Chinese painting classes for English students, and developed over many years of teaching and exhibiting in Britain, Chinese Painting: Ideas and Inspiration is a stimulating, easy~to~use introduction to an age~old artistic tradition.
