My first attempt at a “Chinese” style painting. Actually, I’ll be honest and admit that I pieced this together from my practice paintings. I’ve been teaching myself some Chinese painting techniques from library books (which I can’t read because they are in Chinese). To practice I did a whole sheet of just rocks, just ducks, just trees, etc. I cut these up to put my favorites into my sketchbook, and then I realized that if I arranged and glued them on to another piece of rice paper they go together rather seamlessly. I like this technique until I get the skills to do a whole painting from start to finish.
