A BASIC SET OF CHINESE PAINTING EQUIPMENT, FOR THOSE WITH OR WITHOUT A TEACHER TO MAKE PAINTINGS

Traditional Chinese painting has a saying, which is "The Four Treasures of the Studio". These are the Brush, Ink stick, Paper, and Ink stone, with these items you can write calligraphy or paint pictures. The equipment we offer here, although a modern day update to the traditions, has the basis of these four treasures. |
