Here is some of the work I did in the workshop today. It was what I expected. Basic but all the ground roots to get familiar with. Plenty of practice and I know how to hold the brush correctly. I've never worked on rice paper and found it blurred things, so takes some time getting use to. No coffee breaks and a half hour lunch break, so pretty fast paced and the time went quickly. I have come away with a bit more understanding of Chinese brushwork and will continue with it alongside everything else I practice.

Super start Denise, and I'm glad you are holding the brush correctly.  It does give control

Denise - these are fantastic, and all the more so because you've tackled this method in the traditional way, adopting its disciplines: you've not tried to over-adapt it to an easier approach (if you understand what I mean by that: it can be hard to convey meaning in mere words!).  I'm still looking on my groaning bookshelves for a guide to this sort of painting, and quite possibly I sold it because I couldn't do it.... If I find it, I'll recommend it.  Not that you need much by recommendation.  There's a LOT of stuff on YouTube, though, if you can find it - absolute delicacy of touch, with strong inks, seems to be at least part of the secret.

Thanks Gillian and Robert and I do know what you mean Robert. I tried to keep it as traditional as possible even using Chinese ink. For me, it's important to know the history and development and try it rather than imitate it. I will be looking forward to the 10 week course once it's available.
