Chinese Art
There is lots of great stuff from the webpage of artist Nan Rae, including Art Prints, Greeting Cards, Original Art, Art Lessons, Art Supplies, Art Books, and an Introduction to Brush Painting.
Nan Rae's Chinese brush painting combines the grace of the Literati style with an impressionist approach to color.
The Literati style seeks to transcend the mere representation of a subject to capture its ch'i, or life force, by using a minimum of brush strokes for maximum effect.
Nan Rae has also published a book, The Ch'i of the Brush: Capturing the Spirit of Nature With Chinese Brush Painting Techniques, which has received excellent reader reviews at Amazon.com.
