Nice work! I'm glad you explained how with painting intuitively, there's no way to really replicate someone's painting...only to use and understand their technique and try it themselves. 😊

[@ximeartisticbynature]

Thank you so much! Yes, exactly! It's all about embracing your own unique style and using techniques as a guide to explore your creativity. I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful! 😊

Just came across your channel and love your approach about colors and just use something similar. I think when someone is new to watercolor painting, they worry too much about whether or not they have the correct color instead of using what they have. Thank you for an inspirational session. 🥰🎨

Just saw this…please read my last comment first. Chinese Brushes: MOST brushes on A are NOT “made in China”, hence, not covered by the intangible cultural heritage act: which over-sees the tradional brush makers in China to assure they stick to old historic standards…which includes no animals being harmed. Making brushes has been a reciprocal practice between the artists and farms, ranchers, animal carers. The ONLY critter harmed in trading brush making are the rats in the cities who are trapped, euthanized and hair and whiskers are taken for brushes whilst the rest of the animals become carnivore food, again, for animal carers or sometimes in protected areas.
Sorry..this is important to me after my late son spent 3 days with a brush maker in Guangzhou. I have several goat hair brushes-from spring shearing, and my favorite, my horsehair brush, from the artists pony and HIS spring trim. I can recommend sellers here in the US including one on A, Easyou-who DO sell a horsehair brush. I have a few of their other brushes and they’re great! But, most of my brushes and other supplies came from Henry Li, Blue Heron Arts and Sumiestore. There’s some other big ones, but…unfortunately, I’ll keep my mouth shut. Just research the sources if you’re going to get REAL traditional Chinese art supplies.
Also, another one of my past teachers, the brave, beautiful Fiona (a Chinese artist based in Brussels who has been going through a fight for her life this past year). Fiona has a fantastic blog that she tells art-related historical or even mythological stories as well as some techniques you can learn. You have goat 羊 yáng, mix brushes. One of the fun techniques we practice with these brushes (actually, I do this technique even with my horse brush, but the goat/sheep mix brushes hold more paint. Loading the brush with up to 4 colors. This is particularly used in floral paintings, more common in xieyi (freestyle) techniques, BUT, we sometimes use it in Gongbi (detailed) paintings. It usually goes darker paint is closer to the shaft/bamboo, progressively lighter, with white frequently used on the tip. I’m sure Henry and others have some videos on the technique. When I use it on my xuan with my Chinese paint chips-I get a very similar effect as this. We are usually unable to “lift” colors..and wet-on-wet, I’ve never seen it done and when I attempted it a few years ago for my first large wash (night sky). I tore 3 holes in the paper. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️. That’s ok, it was very high quality xuan, so I was able to patch it with scraps from that roll. (Advantage when using handmade paper. I also have peach sap gum and mingjiao (fish glue-made from “recycled” fish bones). You can get these from Henry too…they are basically binders that may or may not be in your paints, paint chips or vials of pigment. I use them in what I call my “brush water technique” with western paints to adapt them for use on xuan. I also mull some of my own paints-for both mediums. I also keep some alum handy. Fiona has a blog article she wrote mainly for me about using alum to size and/or strengthen xuan papers, or paper that’s technically watercolor paper-it is NOT watercolor medium or like a gesso-the alum just slows the absorption and strengthens the paper….😂 or if you’re a legally blind retired healthcare professional? I can use the alum and mingjiao to patch the holes I make in my xuan. 🤷🏼‍♀️😉
