Learning
Chinese Painting Step By Step
The "Contours Technique"
Exercises
Follow the steps that learned from previous lessons, practice the
following drawings given below by using the contour methods: pressed,
lifted, halted pushed, dragged etc.....(refer
to lesson 4 or the previous-mentioned
technical terms when necessary) Practice
serveral time until you master it before going to the non-outlining technique.
It is the best piece advice, however, when manipulating the brush,
do not only move the fingers, but the whole arm as this will give more
vitality to the contour.
To achieve the above mentioned techniques depends entirely on
the student's skill to master the variations, the control of the brush,
water and ink.
