If you want to learn something more than mechanical reproduction, this is the book for you.,

This review is from: Chinese Brush Painting: A Beginner's Guide (Paperback)
This was/is my 4th book on the subject. The others were rated highly, but this is the first one that truly teaches the essence/spirit of the style rather than simple mechanics. The mechanics are there too, but issues pertaining to compostiton, energy and spirit are covered, and taught in a way that allows you to creatively produce your own paintings instead of merely replicating someone else's. If you want to make this style creatively your own, this book is the best!!! But if you're more interested in being told step by step directions, without explanation, (like a Microsoft manual) there are others that do that.

This review is from: Chinese brush paintin (Mass Market Paperback)
this title is superb in the presentation of the chinese brush painting to the beginer artist. though a little un organized and somewhat free falling in the degree of control expected from the student it stresses the need of practice and give numerouse examples of art subjects to be copied as part of the learning process.i'd give it an 8

Fair book,

This review is from: Chinese Brush Painting: A Beginner's Guide (Paperback)
This book is so-so when it comes to teaching brush painting. The author is good with flowers and leaves. However, she's not very strong when it comes to any other subjects. This book will not work as your only book on the subject. Animals and humans especially are not the author's forte and end up looking off somehow. As an introduction, however, it isn't too bad. I would recommend any book by Lucy Wang and The Simple Art of Chinese Painting by Qu Lei Lei in addition and over this book.
