Beginners luck

This book ia a compilation of four sumi-e instructional series; Sumi-e in Three weeks, Floral Sumi-e in three weeks, Animal Sumi-e in three weeks, and Landscape Sumi-e in three weeks. The artist welcmes you to the world of Zen art by detailing the history and the influences of the traditions of the far east. Each section has details in "how to" for the beginner as the author walks you through each phase of learning the fine art of sumi-e. All of the instructional illustrations are progressive with details on each step and the final completed picture on the same page. Included in this book are some of the worlds most beautiful examples of the art of sumi-e. I have enjoyed the presentation of the author and give this book a high recomendation.
