my shiny new chinese brushes finally arrived...after
much experimentation i finally got the hang of it
(at least i think i have) anyway with my aesthetic in
mind i attempted to forge some sort of uniformed style
from the mess
^^^^ I love the simplicity of the brush strokes...the
strong use of positive/negative space...its almost graphical!
This is the style of painting i wish achieve...simple, dull,
and graphic...
still pondering over my aesthetic i found this image...
(probably the most important piece of reference material yet)
Very nice indeed...i think the colours wrong for
what i need but apart from that...its a good look
the shadows and colour backdrops could be manipulated
digitally so that i dont get lost in a sea of colour washes
a simple texturizing filter could then be added
to give the effect of old parchment
...of coarse chinese painting has that certain
feeling...but there are many styles...basically i tried to
reproduce a few different styles...just to see which one
gels best with my own style of mark making...
