CHINESE PAINTING MATERIALS LIST
for spontaneous style painting
Lian has selected materials available for a good price on Amazon. You may choose to purchase them elsewhere, just confirm it is a similar product.
If you have Chinese painting supplies, please pull them out and compare them to what he has selected.
It is especially important to check that your Chinese watercolor tubes aren't dried out, and to make sure you have the correct paper, which is described as either unsized or raw. If the paper has sizing on it, it will not allow you to paint properly in the spontaneous style.
