Description
Original size: 11X16" (inch) on rice paperMedia: Ink
Scanned and pieced together in photoshop
Characters on the side: "Plum practice, by YKChong. "
OK... I tried my hands at Chinese caligraphy watercolor painting...... This is just a practice.... (60% a copy of another's popular composition)
The caligraphy in this piece is unplanned.... OTL (which means it's bad) so don't go there... I don't even like it myself.
Maybe the previous experience in watercolor helped.
I think alot of things can be worked on in this piece, but i just want to show it here for now, adding to my gallery some variety.
I wish to continue practice and bring out better works of my own later.

It looks really professional, I agree. The tree looks really good, and I don't know why you dislike the calligraphy so much...it's so pretty. It's all really beautiful.

Beautiful traditional look and appeal. I love the design, a very sensual prowess is given off, why? I can't say but maybe its the smooth look/feel and the simple stylings. It just looks great.

Very nice maysing, it looks very, you know 'Ye Olde' chinese black n whit paintings. It is amazing how you managed to make the natural and subtle tones on the side of the tree. Whenever I use water colour it goes, *SPLOOGE* 'holy crap' and the black goes everywhere. Now using water colour is like a lottery, never knowing whether it will turn out okay or not. Anyway, I loved this, and I'm sure I'll enjoy your other works ^^.

Think of trees as persons, people, characters.... they each have their own personality.

It looks great, i need to try something like this myself.
i know this comment may sound a bit weird, but I still like how you painted out the long brance, it looks more organic and alive.
What do the characters say at the side though???

Ah! So pretty. I like the angular, crooked feel of the tree. It reminds that something doesn't have to be perfect in order to be pretty.
