A word on Ink Brush.





I use to do ALOT of this stuff in high school. I mean alot. I could never find a class in it so I had to teach myself. There is a great book called "the way of the brush" that was like nightly reading for me when i was like 15. I love stark compostions but i don't like it when the painting has no earthly subject. For examlple. I hate random shapes floating in space ( you can tell me and modern art don't mix well.) However that doesn't mean that it can be done well. Broadway Boogie-Woogie is a great painting . Typiclly, I find that if an artist has classical training in art their abstract art comes out much better.
I also like Xu Xi. A painter form china. For some reason when I look at his work I think Xerox transfers would look great with them. I would check out his NEw York series. I totally wish I could see the originals up close and personal.
Anyway, here are some other painting that I like :-)
