A few of my dozens of traditional Chinese brushes, which I have come to use quite regularly in my work, alongside my 'Western' ones. Some ink had been ground on the inkstone, and there is some strongly brewed black tea in the blue and white dish (emerging from the refrigerator looking as though milk had been added to it, though none was). I had hoped to use both in a not dissimilar way to the Self Portrait (below) in a piece of work. In the event, I subsequently changed my mind and used neither (I continued using the brushes though).
And youw workplace is so neat
Oh, I'm afraid it's not neat at all, trust me.
*Even your tools are beautiful! no wonder your illustrations have such delicate and magic property
Thanks for sharing this little spot of your workplace. All the ink stuff looks amazing (ink eludes me that's why I admire you the most for).
