Traditional Chinese Landscape Practice.

Traditional Chinese Landscape Practice inspired by looking through some work apparently created through the Song dynasty. To see these boldly coloured papers used for paintings was very inspirational and I thought I'd incorporate some of these elements into a construction of my own. The paper is very thin hand made paper from China and made life tricky for me. The ink sort of sat on the surface for a while then suddenly soaked into the fibres after a delay. To bypass this weirdness I dampened the paper first and allowed it to dry partially by 90% which, for some reason made the ink hit the fibres immediately.
Good fun and enjoyable to try.

@BlackLily888 Hello. I just found this comment of yours. Yes, quite fun to do. The paper is very fragile hand made paper from China. I have never used it and it's a wierd Mustard yellow. Not common to England. Have a fun day, what ever you do.
