For October lets look at some Classics ! Tree and Rock by Su Shi
Yes #SuShi also known as #SuDongPo
He was one of those Famous Chinese Poets who had the "Trifecta" of skills writing poems doing calligraphy and painting too! This is one to study! Fortunately later collectors refrained themselves to adding their seals at the edges of the image !
Notice how theres actually only a few strokes due to the use of dry brush and the dense small solid blacks for detail emphasizing the texture of the rock and the shoots.
Minimal yet maximal!
