Easy to read and understand! Even my 8-year-old can follow steps in the book. Good price for the book and tools (brushes, paints and papers...)

The book is very good, but the brushes are of poor quality. Most of the other supplies are good. I will have to replace one or two of the brushes to use this kit.

This kit includes all of the items you need to get started. This kit, along with the book, The Chinese Brush Painting Bible: Over 200 Motifs with Step-by-Step Illustrated Instructions will make you proficient at Chinese Brush Painting.


5 out of 5 stars Everything you need to paint...just add yourself   June 29, 2006

I was thrilled when I received my kit. It has everything you need to get started and specific details to help you along the way. In painting a flower, it even details how the brush stroke should look, which direction, how much pressure. All you need to complete a beautiful piece of art is yourself and some fun! Definitly recommend for beginners looking for help and ideas.

This kit is great. I bought it and the Brush Painting for Animals so that my kids (7 and 11) and I could do some art together. The inkstone, ink, paints and brushes are really cool, in the words of the 11 year old. The instructions are good, and all you really need to add is a pad of newsprint paper ($1.59 at Hobby Lobby). As an introductory kit, this is great.
