6. - creaking of Your chair, sounds to be not by modern metal parts, like wires, but wooden or some natural materials

7. - sound of a bird,

8. - touching of the inkstand by the brushes handle

9. - a far away voice of a child,

10. - knocking of an empty metal container or top of the inkstand

11. - zoom motor of Your camera

12. - silent talk of peoples not too far away

13. - and some more sounds....

[vagvolgyiattila]

1. - Ticking of Your clock, mechanical construction, but can be electronic.

2. - sound of a car or some vehicle

3. - friction of the paper

4. - Your breath, a deeper sigh of concentration

5. - touches of the brush-tip

dzieki, to przyjemnosc ogladac jak malujesz

[blueheronarts]

Your approach to plum is very unique. The "stamen comes first and petals after" way seem to works well. Especially the first three flowers done in one load. I do not care too much about the extra flowers you added after that. The redundant flowers make it more like peach rather than plum. The buds are good. Maybe you need to paint more branches and flowers to complete the composition. Otherwise it does not look like finished. Anyway, the first 50 sec are very inspiring for which I gave a five!

[blueheronarts]

@mikedeg13 why you care?

[MrHroark]

@mikedeg13

Since you asked "who cares what you think--" Blue Heron Arts is a fine sumi-e and chinese artist himself., and and accomplished teacher While you may not find his comments worthy of care....I bet that Kazu appreciates the feedback from a real master. I know I do.

Hope that answers your question.

[mikedeg13]

@MrHroark art teachers value their opinions more than the art itself, they are merely a stepping stone in a path that i have long since forgotten. its the art that creates itself, and the artist is mererly the medium in which the true universal speaks. if a baby is born with six fingers on each hand, do you say that god must have made a mistake, let me change that for you? Well i guess that you may. The universal choses its own path. who cares what anyone thinks, you see...it is ART. not surgery

[MrHroark]

@mikedeg13

Thanks....Apparently I hold my teachers, and my art, in much higher regard

Good luck with what you do.

[mikedeg13]

@MrHroark aparently your an opinionated asshole as well. all i am saying is Kazushimura is WELL beyond the useless critiquing that you people attempt to offer. If you think it looks like a peach tree, too bad paint it yourself if you can do better. you would have told Picasso he was doing it wrong. A true artist like Kazushimura will be long revered. not MR HROARKs opinions. he does not have to try to convince people his opinion is valid , its not competition. WHo cares what you think? get it!

@mikedeg13

FWIW unteachable one.

If you know oriental art then you know that it is often much more formal and with much more emphasis on mastering techniques, conventions, composition, etc than the absurdities of what passes for art these days in the West...

I do hope you get to feeling better soon. (It will probably help not to hold in your mouth what most would not hold in their hands.)

[mikedeg13]

@MrHroark western artists like who, like R.S Connet, who never finished high school or had any formal art school or teaching. or H.R Giger who is one of the living legends of our time. How about Dru Blair, is his art so absurd? That art makes this type look like my 4 year old daughters scribbling. you need to get over yourself too i think. p.s. i hold shit in my mouth because it is all you keep feeding me. nnk! look up Yamaoka Tesshu and then go order some take out if your trying to be asian.

[MrHroark]

@mikedeg13

Well...as much as I enjoy a good bantering around of ideas, I think I am going to call this one quits...frankly, its getting embarrassing.

I look forward to seeing some of your 4 year old's sumi-e paintings.

[mikedeg13]

@MrHroark sounds good, cheers, have a beer and we will have our own summit and think about all the progress we made, politics, religion and art, as it seems all have fierce debates. no offense, i hope you and your family have good luck for a thousand years.

[mikedeg13]

@blueheronarts i care because he really needs no critiquing. he is good and he embodies Mushin no shin, if he is not as experienced as you, fine. but you should not put him down because you think it is not as good as yours. the first 50 seconds were good but the rest were not? someday the student shall become the master, as it has been so in the past. I consider him just as talented as you. NO MIND, not paint and show off...he is humble. Get over yourself.
