Chinese Brush Painting



My wife gave me a Chinese brush painting set for Christmas. I've finally been able to set aside time to begin having a go. Today's lessons was learning the different brush strokes and developing darker and lighter areas. This was followed with having a go at painting pictures of bamboo. Not too bad for a first attempt. I finally worked out how to form the leaves by the time I had finished. A bottle of strong ink given to me as another Christmas present from my younger sister a few years ago came in handy, too.
