Each small work in the series is accompanied by textual explanations and demonstration illustrations. Starting from the basics of every stroke, branch, and leaf, it aims to guide beginners to learn progressively from simple to complex, from monochrome to color, and from to the whole. This series should be an excellent teaching material for those who are passionate about Chinese painting, helping them to eventually master the art.
