"vine"
"sumi-iv"
watercolour wash # 64
neutral tint W&N
55 x75cm Fabriano 300g/m2
........some of the old vines in the vineyard have incredible shapes ...inspired by Lian Quan Zhen and Federico Bianchi vine paintings .....i painted outside in the vineyard today ... posting my first attempt of a "vine" sumi-e iv ...i don't have a hake brush so i used a 50mm flat brush and chinese brush .
For a first attempt at sumi-e iv I think this is gorgeous!
RispondiEliminaI have watched master Chinese Brush painters in the past and they wouldn't do much better in my opinion.
You have the lightness of touch required for this wonderful medium.
Jane, la serie con motivi orientali è tutto un gioiello, ha una delicatezza meravigliosa.
RispondiEliminaIl lavoro è stato molto bello.
I miei complimenti.
This is great!
RispondiEliminaI also love the Salad one. :)
Ton approche du Sumi-e à l'aquarelle est lumineuse ! Pas besoin de pinceaux spéciaux ... ;)
