I'm out of ideas for a title again, ah well. "Traditional" Chinese ink painting, not sure how long it took me. Probably about 10 hours or so. I'm most happy with the letters, everything else is okay I suppose. A substitute teacher of mine decided to 'help' me by putting way too much ink there in the middle, next to the mountain. A lot of help that was... At least everything wasn't lost lol. The paper was tea-stained by my teacher, it was pretty neat. Ooo- and I used a sumi-e brush :D

It's now hanging on my wall from twine with bamboo on the top and bottom as a frame. It's lovely.

Man, this is so cool. I love these old Asian looking ink paintings. I'd like to do one myself sometime soon. You really did the style justice, what with the subtle smoke wafting around and the intricate little twigs. The only real gripe that I have is the roots of the tree look like they're just kind of resting on the ground, like a banana peel, as opposed to being firmly planted in the earth. I'm not entirely sure how that kind of effect could be achieved though, having no real experience in this technique myself. That's nothing major though, the piece still has a very good feel to it.

Thank you so much! I'd never realized that about the roots before but you're right. Thanks!

I love the gentle shades and simplicity:) I don't know much about sumi-e or ink painting, so I can't offer much of a critique, but this is such an enjoyable piece:thumbsup: Beautiful work!!
