One Stroke Dragon Attempts

P.S. Lessons leaned: The acrylic paints wouldn't work. I found a tutorial on KZbin later that specifically said so and suggested 50% diluted ink with watercolor. But I don't have time to test further.

Thank you so much for your video. I'm fascinated by japanese art.

[@styrpak1]

Thanks for experimenting in front of us!

[@intheengineroom]

Henry and Victoria Li never fail to amaze and entertain. Bravo!

This is very interesting, I've recently started experimenting with a bristled brush pen. It's much smaller obviously but very difficult to control. I just love the simplicity of Japanese art.

[@tmerk4292]

Simplicity probably isn't the right word, but minimalism. Each stroke requires so much intention and presence of mind.

[@dirkdiggler2430]

It is rhe same technique that that math teacher uses on the chalkboard to draw a dotted line in one stroke.

[@blueheronarts]

Thank you for the tip! I searched on YT and found this demo kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpTceWOsds2EatE Yes, it has similar dynamics but the brush is softer than the chalk stip.

[@blueheronarts]

I found another clip that shows the dotted chalk line trick after 6-minute of practice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npO6loZ-l7FgqK8si=sKBkIS0ZMNFlYrlF&t=152 but again it is way more practices with a giant brush I think.

[@dirkdiggler2430]

@@blueheronarts I'm sure it is way more complicated with the brush. I was just saying that it kinda looks like the same thing. I know that learning the chalk dotted line wouldn't take long to learn. I'm sure it takes way way longer to learn the one stroke dragon painting. Thanks for replying back, have a nice day.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZnEqKqOmLami9Usi=hrK8Bjy22kie9ljR I found another good one.

Thank you so much for your in depth explanation on how to use this wonderful brush. I was a bit surprised that you used acrylic paint since it dries so quickly. I thought you'd be using watercolor ink (Dr. Martens). Have you tried Yupo paper? It i totally non-absorbent.

[@theartsypixie2771]

Always wanted to try this technique but i only have medium sized paper

Beautiful
