Watercolor block printing

Ink paintings are one of the oldest known Chinese art forms. With just a few strokes in limited colors, beautiful landscapes and vibrant animals can be brought to life.

But art by the old masters is hard to find, and harder to afford, so the question is, how to make it accessible for the average Joe.

This program gives a brief introduction to Muban shuiyin, or watercolor block printing, an ancient method used to reproduce ink paintings.
