illustrated albums

Hello!
I need help to find an economical book that collects the paintings in good print quality from Zhang Daqian (Chinese expressionism) and / or Yokoyama Taikan (Japanese style nihonga) …
Any suggestions?

Reply To: How often should I replace my brush?

To extend the life of the brushes, wash them with natural olive soap or glycerin soap, which do not contain chemical detergents.
Brushes become brittle when losing their natural fat, so it is recommended to use gum arabic or other similar substance, to maintain shape, flexibility and durability. I’ve heard of people who wet them in milk because casein can help.
If the brush is really damaged it is recommended to apply a “Brush Recover”, and wrap the body of the brush on silk paper for a week, in a warm place (but not very hot, never near a heater or stove).
The main western brush factories (I think also in the eastern ones), market the Restorers for daily use, and the Recuperators for extreme cases. #BrushGrade #BrushQuality. #OldBrush #ReplaceBrush

Reply To: Purchase brushes

^ I think the closest equivalent to petit gris (squirrel) is fine wool. Badger is harder and more coarse. #CalligraphyBrush #ChineseBrushes #HairBrush #PaintingBrush #WeaselHairBrush

I have doubts about the texture of the brush “huan hao badger”… can it be equivalent to the “petit gris” brushes? #CalligraphyBrush #ChineseBrushes #HairBrush #PaintingBrush #WeaselHairBrush

I was delighted to discover that quality does not diminish! Of course, in that case, it opens a lot of possibilities … very inspiring, thanks! #ChineseInk #Gelatine #Inkstick #NaturalPigments #SuInk

We have stopped supplying liquid paint to some countries. Therefore, we recommend you to order natural pigments (colour chips). These are natural colours extracted from rocks/ plants.

The ingredients for the Chinese art materials are different from oil paints. The seal paste does not include leads. 🙂

However, please pay attention to our toxicity labelling. The natural pigments are not all safe to use and we do not recommend them to children. For example, cinnabar is a very common chemical used in Chinese art. #ChineseColourPaint #ChinesePainting

Regarding your questions, there is one reply on facebook:

Shǒu Bì Qiáng Zhuàng Personally I hate Customs. They drill horrible annoying holes in my Brushes, gun barrels, ornaments… everything. Drilled holes just in case I’m smuggling heroin into the country and everything I buy is deformed like this. No exceptions.
You would think they’d use a tiny 1m/m drill? No. Its a stonking great 5m/m hole. Sick society.

On top of that they charge me, as in the last case, £70:00ukp $120:00usd extra for my ink stone from inkston.com.

UK. Regarding paints in tubes, no issues in the UK yet. Liquid inks are allowed and so are paint chips. That or they got through customs unnoticed. If I label a parcel I just write “Art Materials”.
If you write “PAINTS” they will assume its a tin or a great big bottle of liquid and question and stop.
