Chinese Brush Painting- Bamboo for Beginner Students

A short video on the basics of Chinese brush painting including how to hold a brush, how to create Bamboo, and some troubleshooting. For Middle school-High School students. I was inspired by a number of you tube videos to create my own. I use this for a Chinese Brush Painting unit for studio Art grades 9-12.

I took Chinese brush painting classes for a couple of years and the first thing I learned was not to go back and paint over what you already have created. You just let it be. It is a part of the art. Just saying. :)

I am a Chinese and an artist, graduated from the master's studio art, a good beginning is very important, same as the foundation of the building, a lot of mistakes in this video of Chinese Brush painting techniques. You can draw for yourself, but not for education, especially students of Studio Art grades 9-12.

It's weird it's like you haven't offered anything better...

Thanks for sharing! This was very helpful.

Magnifique moment passé à vous regarder, Merci

[@billb6744]

Thank you for the good information. It might help if when doing and demonstrating what NOT to do, you had a notation in the video as such... a big red X or something like that.

Thank You!

[@patricemastrianni9077]

This is really well done. A great help to my class!

[@dinakowalcreative]

Such clear instructions - thank you soooo much.

[@cindycav4037]

Thank you, very informative and well taught.

[@Nilonimir]

Thanks for making this video. I'm a beginner and doing some pre-research before I start painting. :)

Thank you : )

[@peace-yv4qd]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Curious what kind of paper you are using. I'm just beginning a class on Chinese brush painting.

[@thecrystaleye6268]

i have used traditional Chinese paper but normal water colour paper will also work

Superb fantastic work

[@jaygosselin1282]

That was a really good vidieo, thanks

[@realLWD]

If I am painting using, say, 3 different colours, does each colour need its own ink stone?

[@handsonwithharriet1749]

I am just beginning to learn. Would you make other videos with more techniques making other items, such as flowers and animals, Please. Thank you so much. This type of painting is beautiful.

[@MsLivoti]

thank you for your feedback sorry for the late response! Will definitely consider updating and adding more videos about this.

[@maryspeidel5258]

Every artist should learn this. It teaches beautiful brush and value control.

[@alexiaharris-pakinas6729]

Is there anything you could substitute instead of the ink since I have none?

[@MsLivoti]

you could try this technique with a water based material- like watercolor or acrylic paint that's thinned down with water, or you could try using coffee or tea if you want to be more experimental.

thank you, I can't believe the unkind remarks, I'd be happy it I could just make your bamboo!

[@MsLivoti]

Thank you, I disregard the negative remarks because this is intended only to teach my 9th grade students some basics about making brush strokes using a medium that's entirely new to them. This video was also from when I first started teaching this unit as part of my curriculum. Hopefully will update it soon! Thanks!

[@DanielMartinez-rh6tm]

What is the name of that Chinese technique?

[@eugeniaho6555]

Mao bi

[@eugeniaho6555]

It translates to "fur pencil" directly, or just an approximate translation of "brush"

[@shuaham]

I was in Chinese brush painting classes and I remember hating it as a kid because when I was younger, I didn't think it was "real" art and made my parents take me out of the class. Now I wish I stayed because this type of painting is genuinely really pretty.

[@MsLivoti]

thanks for sharing about your experience! It is a beautiful form of art and never to late to keep trying out the style on your own ☺️☺️

[@nicholasalvares5954]

I liked your credits very much. All the beat god bless.

[@wavesofthefuture8061]

My history class used this vid to do this

[@shauleycheng1743]

Very amateurish. I have never seen bamboo leaves with two leaves point upward like that.

[@noapology88]

I would suggest taking a look at actual bamboo leaves before trying to paint them. What you have here is a poor approximation of bamboo.

[@royaljdog7365]

noapology88 stop hating

[@h.h.stroosma1582]

Very bad tecnique.
Is still a beginner.

[@royaljdog7365]

HANS HARMEN Stroosma so why are u watching her?

[@elipotter369]

Wow, just wow. Sorry to say, but this has no artistry, it looks like a cheap wallpaper. It's like about 20% of what is needed towards painting bamboo. They are not realistic leaf patterns either.
