Looking Pretty

Looking Pretty
Artist
Nancy Kane Chapman
Medium
Painting - Chinese Brush Painting
Description
In my formal brush painting classes we started with a lotus flower and moved on to birds, mountains, waterfalls and the sea. We also started in black ink only and
progressed to color. This was one of my first birds! Copied, of course. That's how
to learn the "how to do" tasks.

Absolutely lovely painting Nancy!! "L/F"
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
This is surely a copy because I was studying Chinese brush painting. That's how we learned....! Even though it wasn't an "original" it was very satisfying to get it just right....or get it sorta just right...that felt good too!

Beautifully done, Nancy l/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I studied with a master of Chinese brush painting when I lived in Pasadena. I'm certain this was copied because that was his method...a great one.

Beautiful work, Nancy.....Such an elegant composition and wonderful execution! L/F
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I think I may have been copying a famous Chinese artist. I did this when I was studying Chinese brush painting.
