國畫 Cricket Brush Painting & Calligraphy

Cricket Practice. Heh, Painting Crickets. his is simply a basic Chinese Self Practice session and I have added some old ones in for fun. I find the paper / paint process difficuilt. The paper is so thin, so fragile when wetted. The brushes I findeither too soft or a bit too hard. It is all about getting the liquid into the paper. Like carving but with water instead of a blade. Maybe this is why Calligraphy is so associated with the martial art of swordsmanship because of the hand/wrist coordination involved.
