Wild
Flowers gone wild... I was testing how watercolor paper would work with my ink painting. Unfortunately ink always looks quite dull on it when compared to 'rice paper', which shows magnificent shades and nuances. But the problem with rice paper is that painting gets crinkled and needs to be mounted on a stiffer backing paper, which is a very difficult process. Currently I am sending my work to China to be mounted but that is time consuming. There must be soneone in London who has mastered the traditional Asian wet mounting technique?
OK. Sasa, I like your line!!! (i think I already told you this)
ReplyDeleteis your stamp with a smiley face?
I love :))))
have a nice day my friend!!!!! :)))))))))!!!!!!!!!
I cant believe it, i was the first!!!!
ReplyDeleteand I'm still the first!!!!! :)
ReplyDelete:-)))) Thanks Roberto! You are 3 X the first :-)))
Deletenow I want to see some of this great painter, byeeeee!
DeleteAh, terrible! Grand Master! thanks for let me know about him!!!
ReplyDeleteI have looked lately to Chinese and Japanese artists, I feel very attracted by his art. I like the portraits of Xue Mo, among others!!!
Oh, Xue Mo again was completely new to me. Interesting style, thanks for letting me know about him.
DeleteHe looks like a great master and you did him in style, a real tribute. I'm gonna look into this guy.
ReplyDeleteOne question: The line I don't get. At least, I think it's not suitable for such a wise person. It's a bit childish. You do something to me, I do something to you. So I must be missing something.
And I'm still second, allthough Roberto tries to take all the numbers.
Oh, he is really a great painter! The simple things, birds, flowers, a courgette... He makes them into art. Again, so simple, but so sofisticated! Sigh, it makes one feel very humble.
DeleteI was also wondering about that sentence so I read a Chinese explanation, which mentioned zen and law of cause and effect (my Chinese is not that good so it was a bit hard for me). So maybe it has some deeper meaning, which is less about revenge and more about... Hmm...
DeleteBut I am glad you like his work
DeleteHey WW, I do not quite know what it means, "line", in English, sorry, but I'm not referring to the quote, I spoke of the stroke, the line drawn with the brush, on the drawing :)))))
DeleteOh Roberto, I didn't notice that you and Hedwig both used the same word... I think you meant different things though, I think it is ok to use 'line' for both but I'm not a native English speaker myself either... :-)))))
DeleteYes, I ment the words, and I agree with R that your use of line, that is umm... brush strokes, are great and very Chinese!
DeleteOf course today...the Witch was slayed by the Wizard (Roberto) and I have arrived embarrasingly late. Its good though...your version!
ReplyDeleteMy version is a humble copy... :-)
Deletemaybe you were sleeping, friend Rod!
DeleteHe was lying on the couch... Man flu :)
Delete:-D
DeleteHi! Your lovely version has a double effect - it tells us about your partialities in art and gets us acquainted with a remarkable artist. The simplicity is not that easy to achieve, I suppose. I like Qi Baishi's paintings very much, thank you for letting us know him!
ReplyDeleteHappy to introduce him to you Rossichka :-)
DeleteVery good
