Chinese painting with a brush on silk, wood, bamboo paper or mulberry paper — called «free style» painting, the artists drew and painted their subjects using a minimum of color to convey the main idea of the composition. When considering the works of Chinese artists of the early tenth century, it seems that this art is incomprehensible — they so expressively depicted a bamboo flower or aster inflorescences with a simple brush. And yet, even in modern conditions, it is quite possible to learn this. The beautifully illustrated book details the various techniques and stages of «free style» painting.
