Chinese Brush Painting

Chinese Brush Painting comes from calligraphy. Going back to the beginning of time when Emperors lived in their palaces, and wouldn’t venture out into the world, they hired artists who would be sent out to paint the outside world, farmland, villages and people. The artist then would show their work to the Emperor and his court.
