Chinese Painting Techniques,
By KK (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinese Painting Techniques (Dover Art Instruction) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful instructional book for anyone looking to begin the traditional art of Chinese painting. The author is a westerner who lived in China when she was young and was taught the techniques of painting by masters. Using her book is the next best thing to having an instructor by your side. Each technique is carefully explained and clearly illustrated in a way that makes learning fun and easy. Using this book should give you the skills and confidence desired on your way to learning the art of Chinese painting.
