Rating: 1 stars
Summary: no book
Review: does anyone else have trouble receiving orders? Is 3 weeks too long to wait when they say it will be mailed within 4 days, and it is usually 1 to 2. I can't find out per computer if is has even been mailed!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: tough to learn by
Review: It might be that this is just a tough topic for a book I'm not sure but this book definitely doesn't have enough detail in terms of clear steps/pictures for a beginner.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fair book
Review: This book is so-so when it comes to teaching brush painting.

The author is good with flowers and leaves. However, she's not very strong when it comes to any other subjects. This book will not work as your only book on the subject. Animals and humans especially are not the author's forte and end up looking off somehow.

As an introduction, however, it isn't too bad. I would recommend any book by Lucy Wang and The Simple Art of Chinese Painting by Qu Lei Lei in addition and over this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: no book
Review: this title is superb in the presentation of the chinese brush painting to the beginer artist. though a little un organized and somewhat free falling in the degree of control expected from the student it stresses the need of practice and give numerouse examples of art subjects to be copied as part of the learning process.

i'd give it an 8
