Attended my first Chinese Brush painting lesson. Frustratingly we didnt' put brush to paper. We learnt about the brushes - soft goat hair for soft wash - hard weasel or horse hair for outlines. Fortunately the brushes I purchased in China were of very high quality as there is no good local wource of brushes. Searching on the net for on-line resources but difficult to see the quality of such items as paper.
