Simples strokes of the brush
image captured
A skill passed down through the dynasties
A frame work formed by a set of principles
skills acquired
An artists road to self-expression
Each stroke mirrors the artists mind
Reflecting Ch’i and energy
Composition and colour, strokes and shapes
Through pressure in directed strokes
With form and space which complement each other
Each image viewed condensed in time
Avoiding lines in symmetry
A creative work not an imitation of someone else’s work
Assimilating principles
Rhythmic skills of mastery
The brush made of hair of wolf and goat
The ink stick made of soot and gum
Hsuan paper from the Sandlewood tree
brush held upright in the hand
The brush applied – don’t hesitate.
