Chinese Brush Art

Chinese brush painting isn't just about creating art, it's about the process itself. It's a calming and relaxing form of art, with many people describing the process as spiritual. This traditional form of art is steeped in history, and each piece of artwork you create will be in your own 'handwriting', each stamped with your own style. In China, it's very described as 'writing the picture'.
