Phoenix
Tested some new brushes and painted Phoenix, the mythical bird that in West symbolizes renewal and immortality, and in China the feminine principle.

Last week's Phoenix was a detail of this practice sheet.

Camden Beach
Went to Camden Beach yesterday with a bunch of artist friends. It is a rooftop with fine sand, deckchairs, beach huts and expensive drinks. It was a cold and windy day but at least it didn't start raining.
Tribute
This is my version of one of the paintings of Qi Baish i, my favorite Chinese painter. The original can be found from here .
Sasa, all I can say is that you are a Master,
ReplyDeletebecause only someone who dominates the brushes can show something like this, with loose brush strokes and some stains, a perfect phoenix!!!!
And now I learned what it means in China.
and I realize that your illustration is the exact representation of that meaning!
Congratulations my friend Sasa!!!!
Sasa,if that is a doodle, I'm a duck.
ReplyDeleteIt is splendid!
oooooh, amazing!
ReplyDeleteI like it. And I like the paper you used. What kind is it?
ReplyDeletelove it! test more brushes please :)
ReplyDeleteThanks all, I'm blushing :-)
ReplyDeleteThe paper is rice paper (or xuan paper), I think it usually made of bamboo or other plants, no necessarily rice.
What movement and strength in this painting! Very nice to see how you have used different sizes of brushes. The very big ones for the heavy waving tale and the tiny one for the legs. Super!
