Features: To help those who have mastered the basic techniques of ink painting, are eager to create complete ink painting works, but struggle to find reference books, we have organized this series as a guide for in-depth learning. We have invited professors and renowned painters from various high-level art colleges in China, who have achievements in the art world, academic expertise, and rich experience in painting, teaching, and creation, to serve as the authors of this series. They provide detailed analyses from various aspects such as material preparation, creative conception, creative process, finishing works, and works review. Through clear and insightful technical guidance, learners can grasp comprehensive and systematic creative principles, thereby building a stepping stone to the of ink painting art.
This series is divided into five major formats and specifications: scrolls, square paintings, fan-shaped paintings, round-edged paintings, and albums. Each major format is further divided into three styles: flowers and birds, landscapes, and figures, totaling fifteen volumes. Each volume contains fifty self-drawn examples by the authors, guiding learners in aspects such as paper and brush preparation, composition arrangement, painting process, seal appreciation, and works review. Additionally, it includes methods for folding paper, inscribing captions, using seals, common painting knowledge, and an anthology of poetry for painting, all to enhance practicality.
This series aims to provide learners with a practical technical guide and specific references, but true mastery requires relentless practice from the readers. It does not mean that having guidance from renowned experts provides a universal key. If one thinks they can excel in art solely through this, it is impossible. If one blindly believes in books, they may as well not read any at all!
