Text in English & Chinese. In 'The Happy Brush', the mystery of Chinese Painting is not only lifted, but also made easy and fun. The interesting text and illustrations proceed from simple to profound, starting with brush, paint, and equipment selection, rush holding and manipulations, and moving eventually to thematic composition. This book is valuable to be used for contemporary Chinese painting education, as well as for Chinese cultural heritage promotion.
