| In preparation for my trip to China, I have been practicing my Chinese brush painting techniques! I used to teach this with my students, and we always enjoyed the simplicity and beauty of the art form. |

| I will do some of these in my sketch book, as well as on some small postcard size paper to sell along the way. I have ordered my own Chinese initial stamp...to stamp my art with my signature in Chinese! When it comes in, I will have to do a completed piece, and "sign" it with the stamp. I know you have seen the small, red Chinese characters on brush paintings, usually in a box or circle. There are also often some larger characters that have some meaning: hope, harmony, peace, etc. I hope to be able to buy an antique stamp while in China with one of these meanings to add to the work. neat sheltongail@hotmail.com |
