Chinese Landscapes Made Easy Published by Anova Books 172pages £14.99 Painting landscapes in the expressive Chinese style is not easy because you use a mixture of combined techniques to construct every single feature. The key is to deal with the basic techniques properly and thoroughly at the very beginning. With six Chinese brushes, Rebecca went through this first step in detail and with simple attractive projects. Her next step is to show readers how to combine all those techniques to paint any possible features in landscape. To complete the learning process they will be guided to deal with expressing the mood of a landscape which is an essential ingredient for a successful art work. The whole learning process is very systematic. It guides a reader, even a total beginner in Chinese brush painting, to become creative in landscape painting in the end. Illustrations are carefully selected to cover every possible angle of Chinese landscape painting and every one comes with step-by-step instructions. This book has been shortlisted for 2007 Practical Art Instruction Book of the Year. Click BOOKS to go back to view other books. |
