The Practical Art of Chinese Brush Painting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Excellent book, excellent value. All of this author's books are informative and the illustrations are invaluable for inspiration and practicing oriental brush painting. This book was purchased by our Brush Painting Society for donation to the Public Library. However, when it was brought to the meeting for member review, at least five went off and bought their own copy.
