About this book

In traditional Chinese painting, a dipped brush is used to apply water, ink, and color to silk or paper. The form has a long history and is still widely enjoyed by painting enthusiasts. Chinese painting is not limited to precise similarity in the appearance of objects, but rather emphasizes expressing the author's subjective taste. This allows even total beginners to quickly get started in the art through self-study. This book combines Chinese painting techniques with twenty-four solar terms of traditional Chinese culture. According to the sequence of the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—natural scenes are refined into a series of charming ink paintings. Following the tutorials in this book, you can complete beautiful ink and wash paintings in just a few strokes. You will also learn about the culture surrounding solar terms that has been passed down for thousands of years and taste the beauty of the changing seasons. In this book: •Starting with the most basic knowledge, you will gain an understanding of the classification and characteristics of the brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and pigment, laying a solid foundation for painting. •You can gradually move from superficial to deeper techniques as they are integrated into the tutorials, including a total of more than 30 painting techniques that can be easily learned through practice. •Follow meticulous graphic steps and intimate key tips to complete 24 fine ink paintings with rich themes centered around flowers, birds, vegetables and fruits, fish and insects, and landscapes. •Gain insight into China's twenty-four solar terms culture and the wisdom of life it contains, broaden your creative vision, and expand the horizons of your aesthetic taste. •Gain inspiration to integrate these paintings into life and turn them into practical items which can be used to decorate your home or as gifts to relatives and friends. •The easily copied images, along with the spine binding design, make it easy to spread the book evenly as you practice the techniques in it. Follow this book to experience the beauty of freehand brushwork in traditional Chinese painting!
