Heres a practice I went through to get the grips of painting the narcissus flower. As you can see, I changed the middle of the flower similar to a narcissus flower. Theres a long way to go. But I'm sure we'll get there^^
I've been watching some video's on YouTube on calligraphy. Most of the videos are in Mandarin.. lucky i can understand a some, and actually read some subtitles in TRADITIONAL Chinese^^ The theory and mindset of actually applying the paint goes on very deeply. Its no wonder 9 year olds can paint like geniuses. It becomes an obsession!
Children being trained from young! Then effortlessly shame the rest of the world! How I'd love to go to such a meaningful art school =)
Heres a more in depth study of how people are supposed to apply paint to the massive paint brushes for that authentic effect.
It gets very complicated with the amount of water..ink... paint... n so on... on each PART of the paint brush. And WHERE to add more water ..(above or under) the ink/ paint. and HOW you would then apply this to the silk canvas/ paper. It makes me miss holding a paintbrush.. instead.. I have a stylus and smudgeguard on =) Working like a professional digital artist! (aiming to anywayz.) =D
