Peony & BIrd Stroke by Stroke Sumi-e Tutorial Painting

Using Chinese Brush technique and sumie, Virginia Lloyd-Davies demonstrates stroke by stroke how to paint a pink peony and bird. She explains how to mix colors and gives tips on the uses of brushes and composition. She describes the creative process as the flower, leaves and song bird appear like magic on to the thin xuan (shuen or "rice" paper) without pre-sketching.
