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, we have organized this series with professors and renowned painters from various high-level art colleges in China who have achieved success in the art world, possess academic expertise, and have rich experience in painting, teaching, and creation. These authors provide detailed analyses on various aspects of painting creation, including material preparation, creative conception, creative process, finishing touches, and work reviews. Through clear and insightful technical guidance, they help learners master the key principles of relatively complete and systematic creation, thereby building a stepping stone to the of ink painting art.
This series is divided into five major formats and specifications: scrolls, square frames, fan-shaped paintings, round frames, 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, 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 captions, using seals, common painting knowledge, and an anthology of poetry for painting, all to enhance its practicality.
This series serves as a practical technical guide and specific reference for learners, but true mastery requires relentless practice from the readers. It is not to suggest that guidance alone is a universal key. If one believes they can excel in art through this alone, that is impossible. If one blindly follows the book, they may indeed miss the point.
