玉洲習画帖 4

藤井玉洲 画 · 1906 · 松田庄助 · 12 pictures

A Japanese picture book of ink-style drawing studies titled Gyokushū Shūgachō 4, painted by Fujii Gyokushū and published in 1906 by Matsuda Shōsuke for learners of brush painting. The pictures are monochrome sketches of branches, leaves, birds and insects set on plain paper, with some plants in solid black silhouette and others in fine line, showing how a designer might build a motif from sparse marks and open negative space.
