Features: Beginners in Chinese painting often start by copying. To facilitate copying and guide beginners into the world of Chinese painting, we have compiled this series of "Famous Artists' Studios." The series invites renowned contemporary painters to meticulously explain the key compositional elements and steps of their paintings through photographic stills. Accompanying the books is a VCD that records the entire process of the painters creating their works. Plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, known as the "Four Gentlemen," are commonly depicted in paintings. This series comprises four books: "Teaching Plum Painting by Qiao Mou," "Teaching Orchid Painting by Yan Meihua," "Teaching Bamboo Painting by Han Min," and "Teaching Chrysanthemum Painting by Gong Jixian." The orchid painted by Yan Meihua is purple-stemmed with green leaves, exuding a refined and elegant fragrance. It draws one to seek the wind and enter the mystical realm of deep mountains and valleys, making it an excellent choice for beginners learning to copy orchids.
