Artist's Make-Up Drawings Celebrate Chinese New Year. In honor of the Chinese New Year, artist Hong Yi (aka Red) is using make-up in all sorts of unexpected ways to produce this beautifully decorative series of Chinese scenes. The incredibly skilled artist has been known to use everything from flower petals to rings of coffee stains to create her impressively unconventional designs. For this ongoing series, Red finds her inspiration from Chinese art, culture, and traditions. She uses products like lipstick, mascara, and nail polish to create the interesting landscapes and portraits that convey elements from a Chinese culture including a mask used in many Chinese operas from ancient times and fireworks that are annually used to welcome in the New Year.
Red first began experimenting with make-up back in August and, now, each day throughout the 15 days of the Chinese New Year she will post a new image on her Instagram.

Editor’s note: The following is an excerpt from The Missing Ink: The Lost Art of Handwriting by Philip Hensher.

The problem children were divided into groups, and subjected to a variety of remedial approaches. One group did very much better than the others, and not just in writing. Berninger and Abbott found that the group with improved handwriting also had improved reading skills, better word recognition, better compositional skills, and better recall from memory.
