Features: This series is divided into five major parts—calligraphy scrolls, square frames, fan-shaped scrolls, circular frames, and booklet pages—each in approximate forms and sizes. Each part presents artworks in three styles: flowers and birds, landscapes, and figures, totaling fifteen volumes. Each volume contains fifty self-drawn examples by the author, providing guidance on aspects such as paper and ink preparation, composition arrangement, painting process, seal appreciation, and work critiques. It also includes methods for folding papers, inscribing calligraphy, using seals, common painting knowledge, and an anthology of inscriptions for paintings, all to enhance practicality. This series aims to offer learners a practical technical guide and specific references, but true mastery still requires readers' relentless practice. It is not to suggest that guidance equips one with a universal key. To believe that this alone can lead to artistic excellence is impossible—relying solely on books can lead to no progress!
