SpiceBox Introduction to Chinese Brush Painting Kit - Discover The Magic of Traditional Art with Danny Han-Lin Chen

She absolutely loves it. She is learning a new style

These are very relaxing and enjoyable to do. You paint what you see and it doesn't have to look professional or fancy. You can make it look like a Van Gogh as he painted in all styles. Just enjoy.

Everything you need is included, even a practice board that is reusable.Excellent quality, thank you!

I have a few complaints with this kit. #1 - After painting for 15 minutes, my eyes started to water and I developed a mild headache. I have never had watercolors with fumes before. #2 - the booklet lists items in the kit but the 'blanket' you are supposed to paint upon is not in the kit. #3 - The instruction tell you to "grind" the ink stick to create dry ink, but it does not explain how to do this. #4 - the brush stroke instructions are so complex I doubt anyone will follow them. #5 - the brushes are shaped into precise points by hardened glue. To use the brushes you must soak & wash the glue off, but nothing tells you this. A beginner would be baffled.
