The Way of the Brush: Painting Techniques of China and Japan examines the technique, style, traditions, and methods of Chinese ink painting and how they were interpreted in Japanese art. Illustrated with over 250 images and packed with instructions, The Way of the Brush covers every aspect of brush painting, from brushstrokes, composition and the painting surface to meaning, perspective and artistic philosophy. Part One is a study of the techniques of Chinese painting and explains the elements, techniques and principles which eventually carried over into Japanese painting. Part Two is devoted to technical challenges and basic problems associated with the art, including the issue of fakes and forgeries of Chinese art in Japan. Also included are three appendices and a full bibliography.

This moment of perfect clarity that is the force behind all the traditional Japanese arts—from archery to flower arranging—is celebrated here in Dave Lowry's exploration of the common principles shared by calligraphy and the martial arts. Forty-two examples of Lowry's calligraphy, accompanied by his essays, show how the way of the brush reflects the strategic principles of the way of the sword. Each calligraphy represents a term from the martial arts—such as do, the way, or wa, harmony. The accompanying text amplifies our understanding of the term, what it meant to Japanese warriors, and what it means to practitioners of calligraphy and the martial arts today. What becomes clear is that these two seemingly unrelated disciplines actually partake of the same profound elemental spirit.

Art - A Moment of Bliss Art reflects life. Louisa Yee has journeyed east and west, and her brush has been weaving the two cultures together. Today, her art is at a place where "less is more." In this book you will see nature captured without pretense. The images are drawn with few brush strokes to suggest their forms. There is no fomality, but just a natural simplicity. Each line is essential and nothing is lacking. Some objects are painted with a very wet brush and without great concern for outline. Sometimes bold stroke and intense ink are used to partially outline a form or to suggest its texture. In some paintings, you will see a heavy brush stroke, being lifted almost away from the paper, leaving only the edges to give character to the objects. Birds and insects are quite animated and executed spontaneously with a minimum of brushwork, branches are drawn as if they had feelings, and the expressiveness of her strokes, the fluidity and grace of the movement of the brush heightens the sensation.
