Description

This is one of my new ideas. Sumi-e bamboo painting. It is my secend attempt on doing it the right way. I once posted som bamboo, but they were made without knowing anything about how to paint them. Now I have seen severel videos on Youtube and I find it deep fascinating to do. :-) Although I havent YET got the real brush or ink for it, I think the result isnt that bad :-) What do you think? Have a beautiful day. We have calm, cloudy, but not too cool weather today. Thank you so much for viewing and commenting on my previous post and special warm thanks go to those, who added it to their favorites. :)

Really beautiful work! And very nicely done! I've played with this technique a bit too (one of my projects in a college art class), but it didn't turn out HALF as nice as this.

Good morning, Helle, what a surprise in the morning. What a lovely image. I like it soo much and you´ve done it so good. Make more of them please. I like chinese and japanese paintings. They are so good in their special own way. Your pic is well done and a picture for the wall. All the best, Bernd

What a WONDERFUL result, Helle!! I really admire you for achieving this. I cannot do it for the life of me, except on a pot with oxides on a glaze.

Oh my ... this is just lovely, Helle! Gorgeous work. I'm quite impressed! Now I wonder how it would be in ArtRage. (Of course the number of things I want to try in ArtRage is absolutely endless! LOL! I'll have to retire.) :P

I think that you are a natural artist, and whatever you attempt artwise usually is amazing. Wish I could translate what luoyx2008 said about this, that would be interesting. Very well done Helle, hugs Jane xx

Oh, Helle! This is lovely! It has such beautiful simplicity and grace! It really strikes home with me, not only because I love bamboo, but also because I've been attempting lately to bring some simplicity into my own life. Get rid of some of the clutter and allow the important things of life room to breath. This embodies that way of being. I really love it!

What a gorgeous piece of work! I agree, you are a natural! It's one thing to "dabble" with something new, but something completely different to do what you have done and make an exquisitely beautiful piece of work! This is super!

Wow, Helle...you've done such a fine job. I got fascinated with the comment in Chinese and used my google translater to find out what he said: "Very beautiful, as a Chinese person, can see a foreigner in China to make such a beautiful painting, I admire your artistic talent. Wish you good luck."
