Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. A richly illustrated mid-century Walter T. Foster art instruction book devoted to the techniques of traditional Chinese brush painting, authored by Hong Kong masters Chow Chian-Chiu and Chow Leung Chen-Ying. This second volume in the Chinese Painting series (No. 128) presents step-by-step demonstrations for flowers, birds, and aquatic life, including orchids, wisteria, and angelfish, with detailed brushwork diagrams and color guidance. Printed in full color on coated stock, the book discusses brush and pigment equivalents and concludes with a complete catalog of Foster's "How to Draw" series through No. 198. A vibrant example of Walter Foster's efforts to popularize international painting traditions among Western artists and students. Chow Chian-Chiu (1910-2006) was a Hong Kong painter and teacher celebrated for his mastery of Lingnan-style brushwork and for introducing Chinese painting to Western audiences. His wife and collaborator, Chow Leung Chen-Ying, was also a skilled painter whose floral and bird compositions helped shape postwar perceptions of Chinese art abroad. Together they produced several instructional volumes with Walter Foster, blending Eastern aesthetics with accessible step-by-step methods for English-language readers. …
