MESSAGE NOTE

Porcelain painters should think of those who have walked the road before them. Search their paths, their timeless inspirations, and the lineage of their genius. Learn your craft well and your talent will mature into its full possibility. Keep an obedient heart before nature. Nature is the master above all other masters. Nature is the concrete manifestation of all that remains true and sublime. One must approach her in our porcelain art. Nature will renew every generation of china-painters, ready to illuminate the minds of those who practice the art with what is calm, rational, beautiful, sublime, and eternal. One cannot function in this field without the basics and the study of nature...one who wishes to paint "modern" cannot do so without the fundamentals and the knowledge of nature and what has gone on before them..You cannot skip the basics and hope to achieve fame in any style or become a good artist without nature and the basic fundamentals of art and china painting. This is one of the main reasons for writing down this book for all to learn from.
