Japanese Ink-Painting: Lessons in Suiboku Techniques
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Japanese Ink Painting teaches the beginner the fundamental techniques of suiboku (or ink-and-water), an ancient form of ink painting that has its spiritual roots in Zen Buddhism. Saito begins by discussing the brushes, ink, and other tools unique to ink painting, as well as the proper way to hold a brush and ways to create different brushstrokes. The next lessons teach "the four gentlemen"-the orchid, the bamboo, the cherry blossom, and the chrysanthemum flower-after which you will have all the brushstrokes you need to do any painting
