[Ink-and-Wash Picture Books of Classic Chinese Stories]


The ink-and-wash painting technique is considered to be representative of traditional Chinese
painting. Painters use a brush pen dipped in a mixture of ink and water, and paint on traditional paper.
The basic ink-and-wash painting uses only water and ink, so there are only two colors, black and white.
But more advanced ink-and-wash paintings like fine brushwork and bird-and-flower paintings use
many colors. The ink is one of the most special elements in Chinese painting. Using different amounts
of water, the ink can be diluted to varying gradations, from black to gray to white, a characteristic
known as the charm of ink. This series of books portrays well-known Chinese childrens stories in
traditional ink-and-wash paintings.
