Doing the Dai Jin painting

A few blogs ago, we showed a section of a painting by Dai Jin.  Here we discuss how to proceed with creating a version of it.   To start,  it's best to begin with ink of light to medium intensity.   That way,  we can make modifications or augmentation later with darker ink. Start at the most prominent feature in the middle section of the painting.   It is the large boulder. The rest will build up from there, and will be scaled and positioned relative to it.  My rendition, the first stage is attached --as a guide to show the ink tones and the degree of development appropriate for the first stage. Again,  certain parts will be darkened, and details added in later stages.
