Day 8 of the Chinese-style painting challenge for November, the challenge annually hosted by OASlife (Oriental Art Supply) on Facebook every June and November. Today's contribution is less like a traditional Asian-style brush painting than a western-style watercolor, but my intentions were to paint this pict with Asian-style simple brush-strokes in ink. That said, after I got the simplest pencil sketch for layout purposes on the paper, I realized that the details were too fine for the Chinese brushes to get sufficient detail, especially since the paper is soft shikishi known for bleeding anyway. So much for using only Chinese ink. Therefore, opted to use Marie's Chinese watercolors with only accents of Chinese ink. My mom loves this picture ... so that makes my heart feel good!
