A complete guide to painting pandas, horses, elephants, and 47 other beloved creatures in the traditional Chinese brush-style. Chinese animal painting is an ancient form characterized by its simplicity and natural elegance. Chinese masters spent years, if not lifetimes, mastering the time-honored technique. For artists interested in learning it, acclaimed author and painter Rebecca Yue has developed a systematic, simple approach to painting animals in this traditional tonal style. Yue first demonstrates key brushstrokes that must be mastered, then gives detailed step-by-step illustrated instructions for painting 50 animals, whether they be rendered in simple outline sketches or more advanced expressive styles. Full of Yue€™s own beautiful animal paintings, this book will both inspire and teach beginners as well as serious students of Chinese painting.
