Features: To help those who have mastered the basic techniques of ink painting, aspire 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, to author this series. They provide detailed analyses on various aspects of painting creation, including material preparation, creative conception, creative process, finishing works, and work reviews. Through clear and accessible technical guidance, learners can grasp comprehensive and systematic creative principles, thereby building a stepping stone to the of ink painting art.
This series is organized into five major formats and specifications: scrolls, square paintings, fan paintings, round frames, and albums. Each major format is further divided into three styles: flowers and birds, landscapes, and figures, resulting in a total of fifteen volumes. Each volume contains fifty self-drawn examples by the authors, covering aspects such as paper and brush preparation, composition arrangement, painting process, seal appreciation, and work reviews. Additionally, it includes methods for folding paper, inscribing titles, using seals, common painting knowledge, and an anthology of poetry for painting, enhancing its practicality.
This series aims to provide learners with practical technical guidance and specific references, but true mastery requires readers to practice tirelessly. It is not to suggest that guidance equates to a universal key. To think that this alone can lead to artistic excellence is impossible. If one relies solely on books, they may end up knowing nothing at all!
