Momiji - More autumn leaves

More more autumn leaves
This one is a scroll by the artist #Kiitsu
Its almost #nanga or #kano in style

Note the very Japanese use of blank space and counterbalanced
colors and the careful way the ink wash is stronger at the edge
of the flowers and this is on sized silk NOT paper.

Looks simple but requires great skill with the brush

Ask any watercolorist who uses wet into wet washes

The japanese puddling technique is very similar !
