“Calligraphy by those good in brush strength has much bone; that by those not good in brush strength has much flesh. Calligraphy that has much bone but slight flesh is called sinew-writing; that with much flesh but slight bone is called ink-pig. Calligraphy with much strength and rich in sinew is of sagelike quality; that with neither strength nor sinew is sick. Every writer proceeds in accordance with the manifestation of his digestion and respiration of energy.” (From Bizhentu, 7th century)
One day with around 10 people together,
from getting into its culture to deep practices on the foundations.
three hours fly quickly together with the quietly flowing brushes.
The most uplifting part is a day full of serenity joy with the fellow learners.

This is the aim of the traditional Chinese painter:
to capture not only the outer appearance of a subject but its inner essence as well—its energy, life force, spirit.
To accomplish his goal, the Chinese painter more often than not rejected the use of color. Like the photographer who prefers to work in black and white, the Chinese artist regarded color as distraction. He also rejected the changeable qualities of light and shadow as a means of modeling, along with opaque pigments to conceal mistakes. Instead, he relied on line—the indelible mark of the inked brush.
