Description Chinese inks and paint on rice paper. One of the final paintings I did two years ago in my Chinese painting class. Basically all we had to do there every week was copy an illustration, so I'm not taking any credit for the design. Was pretty happy with it all the same. Gave it to a dear friend Unfortunately I didn't take a good picture of it (the paper was crinkly -as rice paper generally is- and placed at an angle) so it's been edited and fixed up.

This is incredible~! I love the style, and the muted colors are so unexpected yet beautiful for a peacock~!

don't know why but I am in love with the shape of the peacocks neck, the ridges and bumps make it so fluid and gives it so much texture at the same time. very good work!

Wow, this is absolutely stunning! That splash of color in the feathers just makes the whole picture pop! Chinese painting sounds like a pretty fun and unique class to take.

Thank you so much!

It was a very fun class to take! (studied in China for a year so I was quick to jump into all the fun electives) Not easy however as instruction was completely in Mandarin, so how well you did depended not only on your general experiences drawing and/or painting, but your language skills too. It was sink or swim pretty much. I miss it a lot; maybe I should get back into it.Β

I see! Yeah, that does sound pretty hardcore haha. It's awesome to hear you were able to study abroad in China as well. Did you write the calligraphy as well? It's so on point!

toedeledoki In reply to longestdistance [2017-11-18 13:28:50 +0000 UTC]

Yes I did! So happy you noticed Took a seperate class on it and I basically fell in love with it. Wasn't very accomplished doing it at first (though I guess no one is). Holding the brush correctly is especially awkward and I had very shaky hands because having the teacher peering over my shoulder while writing was nerve-wracking to say the least. But I practiced loads to compensate for it and I'm starting to get somewhere now. Since I've gotten back home I make it a point to practice it as often as I can
