Week 5

Demonstration Art

From a bijin-ga published by Hishikawa Moronobu (1618 – 1694). See discussion.

Calligraphy, Sketches and Demonstration Painting

Calligraphy

There are two Japanese words this week, both written using kanji, for those who want to practice their calligraphy. The first word is bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful people).

The next word is sakurasō (Japanese primrose).

Sketch

Here is a relatively simple sketch of a Japanese primrose for practice.

Demonstration Painting

For the flowers, I mostly used mokkotsu-hō strokes. For the young lady, use korokutensai-hō, a combination of line strokes with color inside.
