  'Chinese Landscapes Made Easy' shows you how to paint stunning landscapes in the classic Chinese style with a core material list of just six essential Chinese brushes. Starting with how to hold and control a Chinese brush, the author builds your confidence by demonstrating simple techniques on paper, before tackling more complex marks in conjunction with a series of painting `lessons', each dedicated to a different key element of Chinese landscape painting. The projects section takes you through all the step-by-step techniques in order to complete your very own works of art. Each project has a colour palette and information on brushes to use, so you can be fully prepared.

  Master just two simple brushstrokes - `dots' and `long dots' - and you will be able to paint a simple waterfall. With more practice you can progress to more advanced strokes that enable you to depict subtle light reflections on land. With clear illustrations on key hand movements and easy-to-follow techniques, Chinese Landscapes Made Easy guides you all the way to mastering this beautiful form of landscape painting.
