Chinese Painting in Four Seasons: A Manual of Aesthetics and Techniques

I bought this book on Amazon last month. I loved it very much! This is a gift for my retirement. The step by step instructions are very easy and enjoyable to practice! Very good for beginners!

Very good instruction and samples.

Excellent book would have like more illustrations.

This book in an invaluable tool if you really want to learn Chinese painting.It is the next best thing to actually having a live teacher. The instructions are step by step, very thorough and easy to follow. Not only are the instructions excellent, but the book also emphasizes the spiritual aspects of the art form. I believe that is an integral part of this form of painting which is equally important as the techniques .The book also has a lot of interesting historical facts throughout. If you are serious about learning this art, this book is a must have book!

This book survives the test of time. Breaks down the steps to draw bamboo in great detail and a little of the other treasures as well
