The Art of Chinese Brush Painting

Chinese Brush Painting• Aim: to capture the inner essence

of the subject—its energy, life force, spirit- not just its outer appearance.

• Often portrayed nature: flowers, landscapes, animals

• To accomplish his goal, the Chinese painter only used black ink, and limited color.

• Drawing with an ink brush comes from calligraphy (the art of writing) (from kallos= beauty, graphien=to write- Greek: beautiful writing.)

Chinese Brush Strokes • Free spirited,

spontaneous brush strokes

• No sketching first• No correcting your

brush stroke• Little use of

perspective or realistic portrayal, gives the painter freedom to better express his subjective feelings.
