Thx for posting this plum blossom. One Q though...shouldn't the branch (brush with different ink tones) be made with different tones of ink instead of pure or very dark black ink ? Just a Q from a novice.
That's an excellent question! Actually it's a matter of style. Personally, I love the look of the dark Ink contrasted to the gentle Plum blossoms. You can just as easily load the brush with a medium tone of Ink and then tip the brush to pure Ink. Another possibility is using a brown tone such as Burnt Sienna in the body of the brush and then tipping to Neutral Tint or Ink. Do let me know which you prefer.
It's so gratifying to know that these video's are encouraging Brush painters and now to hear that you're inspired, well,my heart sings! I wish you great Ch'i and delightful painting!
I have your Ch'i of the Brush book, Nan. I love it so much. I'm so thrilled to see you on YouTube. Your work is beyond stunning. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with others. You've made my day and beyond.
Please keep the videos coming. You're a wonderful teacher.
