- This video is an introduction of rice paper, ink, brushes and basic techniques for traditional freestyle Chinese painting by Kate Wu. There is also a demonstration of using upright and slanted strokes for painting Chinese orchid.
This is such a helpful introduction to Chinese brush painting!! As a beginner, it was soooo helpful hearing the explanations and tips, and being able to see the process 🥰🥰🥰 The introduction to the materials and techniques was so helpful because it can be so overwhelming knowing where to start or how to research. There were so many things I learned in just 5 minutes. Thank you!!
Your strokes are beautiful. Thank you- this is a very helpful tutorial!.
WOW!
That is so pretty !
Keep up the good work!
This really amazing. Could you please tell where can I buy these brushes online
Unfortunately they are not available online at the moment. Will set up a eShop soon. Please stay tune.
this is so beautiful... I'm just a beginner in chinese painting, may i ask you a question? how to prevent my paper from wrinkling? when the colors are dried paper looks wrinkled :(((
I think that your paper is probably too raw or thin. Try to use thinner ink. It doesn’t really matter if the paper is wrinkled when dried. It’ll be flat when mounted. That’s the beauty of rice paper.
That is just beautiful in every way! Please tell me, you have painted for 25 years or so, but how long did it take to start making "decent" strokes?
Thanks. It’s hard to say because it depends on how much work you put in. I would say weeks.
@@KateWuArt That's not too bad. Thank you!
This is so useful. I have just started Chinese-style painting so seeing the basics is interesting. Do you dilute the ink for any paintings? Thanks again.
Not sure if I am getting your question correctly... I don’t pre-dilute ink for any painting. I wet the brush and create gradation by manipulating the brush and the amount of water in my brush. Please check out my latest 2 videos for step by step painting koi fish and another painting with just ink.
I wonder what size these brushes are and where we can find them in the USA. Anyone know?
If i have to much ink and i dont have a container to put it in how would you go about storing or disposing of it
I don't reuse ink. If you have a container with lid, that may work. But the best way is to take little ink each time.
@@KateWuArt thank you

Why is my ink getting smudged on Chinese paper?
It’s the combination of paper and the amount of water and ink in your brush. Try to reduce the amount of water in your brush before you take ink.
@@KateWuArt thank you so much. 💟 I will try.
