Summary

Japanese Ink Painting: Lessons in Suiboku Technique teaches beginners the fundamental techniques of suiboku, a form of Japanese ink painting.Suiboku is considered to be a type of Japanese painting known as sumi-e.  It adds water to emphasize the shading of black into gray in one brush-stroke.  With origins in China and a spiritual basis in Zen Buddhism, this form of brush painting—expressing nature's colors through shades of black ink monochrome—has been enjoyed throughout the centuries in Japan as a hobby for the amateur. This Japanese painting book offers step-by-step lessons with easy-to-understand explanations through nearly 60 illustrations.  The numerous photographs at the end of the book, in addition to the works of great masters in the art of suiboku, include several paintings by the author's pupils to prove what the amateur can achieve through  careful observance of instructions and patient practice.  As the author points out, this book is designed for the beginner, and "even the amateur can learn by himself and enjoy suiboku as a hobby."

ALSO AVAILABLE: 
Close-Ups: Vampire Movies

Wes Anderson is a distinctive auteur of modern American cinema, known for having created a personal universe out of pastel colour palettes, meticulous set design, nostalgic soundtracks and a troupe of familiar actors – all seen in films such as Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Isle of Dogs. 
In this pocket guide Sophie Monks Kaufman delves beneath Anderson’s pristine surfaces to examine his emotional preoccupations with family, romance, failure, adventure and death. She carefully unspools the cultural threads that inform his aesthetic to explain why this precocious arthouse film nerd from Texas has become one of the most popular directors of his generation. 
This book offers a comprehensive guide to Wes Anderson's unique style of direction, providing insightful reviews and a detailed biography. It's a top reference for anyone interested in the performing arts, offering a unique look into his individual approach to production. 
For fans of Wally Koval (Accidentally Wes Anderson), Matt Zoller Seitz (The Wes Anderson Collection), Annie Atkins (Fake Love Letters, Forged Telegrams, and Prison Escape Maps), and Wes Anderson (The French Dispatch).
