Three-Step Method for Freehand Painting (English Edition): Vegetables, Flowers & Insects – Chinese Painting for Beginners

Learn Freehand Brushwork in Three Simple Steps — From a Single Vegetable or Flower to a Complete Composition, with Tools, Ink and Colour Basics Explained for Complete Beginners
This is not a history of Chinese painting, and it is not a collection of finished masterpieces to admire. It is a workbook that teaches you how to paint—in three steps, with clear pictures and plain English. You start with a single vegetable, a flower, or an insect: three brushstrokes, one after another, and suddenly there is something on the page that looks like the real thing. Then the book moves you from that single subject to a complete composition, showing you the order of strokes, the priority of ink, and how the parts fit together. The author, Yan Kangwen, studied under some of Shanghai‘s best-known painters, and he designed this book for readers outside China who have never held a Chinese brush before. If you want to actually paint, not just read about painting—this is it.
