Strokes with chinese brush

Chinese ink and watercolor on rice paper (5"x7" each)


I was trying my hands on chinese brushes which are quite different from the normal brushes. The rice paper that's used for chinese paitntings can be challenging, especially while putting strokes with watercolor. These being very thin and semi-transparent, need proper consistency of the paint, else can easily blot. But on the other hand, this can be used to the advantage of creating some special effects or to bring out the effect of field of depth.
