Capture the essence of complex subjects in just a few strokes with Chinese brush painting. This traditional method requires patience and practice, but you’ll get a huge head start in master painter Kwan Jung’s video workshop. You’ll build discipline and design skills as you render six classic subjects in ink and paint.
Kwan covers the essential skills, from grinding ink to gripping the brush. First you’ll learn the 10 basic strokes as you paint a prawn. Then you’ll add movement and gesture to your repertoire as Kwan demonstrates bamboo and bird forms. He varies brush width within each stroke, allowing him to paint quickly and judiciously. Kwan adds colorful accents with acrylics and watercolors. You’ll mix these media with ink to subtly shift hues as you paint hibiscus, horses, and a cowboy. The video repeats critical strokes so you can watch Kwan’s brushwork from multiple angles. Learn classical techniques to enhance your current art in Chinese Brush Painting with Kwan Jung.
