The original book on Chinese art theory and painting techniques, this Manual has been reproduced for over 300 years and continues to astonish and delight with each generation. Equally at home in the studio or on the coffee table, artists and art connoisseurs alike will be enchanted with its pages of elegant lines, deceptively simple compositions, and Qing dynasty philosophy. It also contains practical knowledge, step-by-step instructions and insight into the ancient techniques used to mix and apply paint to stretched silk.
