A Moment of Truth

Since I am a fan of Ito Jyakuchu, a world-renowned Japanese artist who created amazing paintings of the nature's beauty and colorful realm of living things in 17th century, one day I took the brush and started to paint one of his Fowl paintings.

This is a step-by-step tutorial material which I did paint without a rough sketch or draft.

Just took the brush and sumi ink, and began to paint from the fowl's eye at the center of washi paper. This was a great experience for me. This painting is one of few Jyakuchu's painting I recreated.
