Oriental
Brush
Oriental-style
bamboo brush watercolor painting involves the application of special
horsehair brushes to apply watercolor paints to rice paper.
Shirley Weisbrod
studied this art under a master painter while in California, and obtained
her artists seal at that time, which is used with red ink to sign
the art work. She uses brushes of varying widths to paint colors as
well as draw branch details. She applies them with water color paints
featuring traditional Japanese hues.
The result are
paintings of oriental bamboo and flower themes, made in the traditional
style with Shirley Weisbrod's unique emphasis of branch and leave
designs. |
