In a hurry, but someone remind me to write about this. It's for my Guest Book...

[Update - 7:50pm]

I found a whole set of Chinese Brush Painting tutorial books at the mall. They had one devoted to bamboo, but it was black and white ink only and the bamboo they showed didn't especially do anything for me. Then I looked at their birds one and found various songbirds, lovebirds flying around, perching on branches with plum blossoms, bamboo and other things. There might be something there that I can use.
