                      About Chinese painting


Chinese painting is an ancient art based on calligraphy strokes. When painting, the brush is held like a baton allowing for more flexibility.  Most strokes are accomplished with the movement coming from the shoulder.  This requires that the mind and body work as one thus quieting the mind  and resulting in an active meditation.
