How to Copy a Master Chinese Brush Painting

The nature of spontaneous style Chinese Brush Painting defies copying. Even master artists find it challenging to duplicate their own paintings and after all what would be the point?

In this video we show how a more experienced artist thinks about doing a painting inspired by a master painting. Of course the results doesn't turn out exactly the same but understanding this process can unlock a huge amount of learning for a painter of any level.

Detailed instruction for Chinese Brush Painting is rare. Especially the type of detailed stroke by stroke instruction that our customers have become accustom to in the books published by Ning Yeh.

If you can learn the process, then you can buy albums of collected works by master artists or even find a some inspiration online and using a working knowledge of OAS brushes and paper, devise a way to make your own painting inspired by the work of a master!

The painting that we use as inspiration is published in Chao Shao-an's book Album Paintings by Chao Shao-an: https://orientalartsupply.com/product...
