Features: To help those who have mastered the basic techniques of ink painting, desire to create complete ink painting works, yet struggle to find reference books, this series serves as an in-depth learning guide. We have organized 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, as the authors of this series. They provide detailed analyses from various aspects such as material preparation for painting, creative conception, creative process, finishing works, and works review. Through clear and insightful technical guidance, learners can grasp the key principles of relatively complete and systematic creation, thereby building a ladder to the artistic of ink painting.
The series is divided into five major formats and specifications: horizontal scrolls, square scrolls, fan-shaped scrolls, round frames, and albums. Each major format is further divided into three forms: flowers and birds, landscapes, and figures, totaling fifteen volumes. Each volume includes fifty self-drawn examples by the authors, covering 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, enhancing its practicality.
This series provides learners with a practical technical guide and specific references, but true mastery requires readers to practice tirelessly. It is not to suggest that guidance alone is a universal key.
