Review #1

my sumi e

i like this book so much when i borrow it from the library i had to buy it although i am cheap and could not afford it.




Review #2

Really great for beginners

Informative, explanatory, detailed and with beautiful images! Definitely a good buy if you would like to start sumi-e.




Review #3

The best of many western books on this subject

I have been teaching and practicing this artform (Chinese Brush Painting) for about 5 years and have found this among the very best of the available books on the subject. Ms. Frame takes us through the basics, with descriptions of the materials and brushstrokes that one can actually follow and put into practice -all the time keeping true to the tradition. She then takes us beyond the basics with lovely projects incorporating colour along with the ink. I would highly recommend this book along with Ning Yeh's instruction books and videos for anyone seriously interested in learning the techniques of this beautiful artform.
