Reader comments

The pictures in the book are very beautiful, and the language explanation is also very vivid, so that even a painting novice like me can easily understand it. I especially like the part about "describing the spirit with form". It makes me understand that Chinese painting is not only about depicting the appearance, but also about conveying the inner world of the characters. However, I kind of hate some of the ancient masters in the book. Their works always make me feel unattainable and difficult to imitate. But overall, this book gave me a deeper understanding of Chinese painting and made me love painting even more! 🎨
