love your work........question - is your online Chinese painting class videos accompanied by any printable handouts to keep for reference?.....if they are available, do you have to purchase them separately from whichever subscription program you choose?........hope to hear from you........thanks
@freedom2minitokyo Black watercolor is different than ink on rice paper but it is ok to use if you have no ink. It tends to be too sticky to brush, not flowing as much as ink. Add lots of water to dilute the watercolor may help. No use of white to get grey to keep it transparent.
@CocoHotpix It says "A couple of herons standing by the water". You may sign in English. I can help translated English name into Chinese and can also help create a personalized Chinese name chop.
@laughingatducks You don't have to mix well or evenly. It is supposed to have a gradation in load, from dark ink on the tip to clean water at heel. Again, watercolor binding medium is quite different than ink. You might not get the smooth gradtion with watercolor black. So ink is preferred. You might want to get a bottle of Chuang Hwa ink from our online store.
Hey.. I love your work! I am just starting out with a beginner set. Is there someway to practice to get like.. the feel of the brush? I feel so awkward so far and I cannot get the look you have. Does brush quality make a huge difference? I just a small beginner set so the brushes are short and simple. I figured it'd be good to start because I don't want to put a crazy amount of money into brushes when I'm just starting. Opinions or suggestions?
@faithhopelovecor1313 Thank you! I am glad that my videos help your study of art history. You'd better try to paint with Chinese brush and ink on rice paper(xuan paper) yourself. It is very enjoyable.
@bvandusen I use a goat(soft) hair or a combination brush with goat and wolf(stiff) hair brush for the body and a wolf hair brush for the beak and the leg. You may find brushes at our online store. Thanks!
Do you have to use ink? I'm doing a project for my adv. art class, and the art department is very poorly funded. Most likely, I won't have access to ink, so I'm curious if its really needed, or can I just use black water color paint?
I like you video but intesed of light blue or dark can you please mention the name of the colors please and the brand of the color that you use. thank you.
I used Marie's Chinese painting colors. The blue is mineral blue plus phthalo blue or indigo. www.blueheronarts.com/marie-color-chinese-painting-colours-small-p-107.html
Nothing is wrong. You just need to make a friend with your rice paper by adjusting of think moisture when loading the brush , painting speed, and leave room for the bleed to create interesting brush stroke and ink effect.
Yes. Here is a link to the basic set of three Chinese brushes for painting and calligraphy. www.blueheronarts.com/basic-chinese-painting-brushesall-p-22.html
The difference is the rigidity. You might actually be better off cutting off your own hair to make a brush lol. Watercolor brushes are very rigid and don't retain the angle that sumi brushes do when they are wet
Respected Henry Li, Watching your video lessons again and again and practicing too. The way of your painting and teaching is amazing . Lots of thanks and best wishes from me and India, Savita

Absolutely stunning!

Difficult, I needed an afternoon to study the brushwork. After 124 attempts it works a little. Practice, practice, practice!!! Evie

My rice paper is bleeding when I try this. What am I doing wrong?
Nothing is wrong. You just need to make a friend with your rice paper by adjusting of think moisture when loading the brush , painting speed, and leave room for the bleed to create interesting brush stroke and ink effect.
what does the Chinese words say. And how should people who speak english sign their painting? Just curious.
Very Beautiful!
Is this considered Lingnan style?
No, it's my own style.
Very nice, I try to learn. i wish there was explanation with this video, explaining what you do as you do it as you expain in some others.
Oh wow! Stunning!

Yes. Here is a link to the basic set of three Chinese brushes for painting and calligraphy. www.blueheronarts.com/basic-chinese-painting-brushesall-p-22.html
This is a great lesson & learning video, thanks so much!
Beautiful!!
* copys this and gives it to my friend immediately when i finished*
me: i stole this guys painting
friend: why is it wet
me: oh no i forgot to dry it
Thankyou
can I use any kind of brush
Yes/No Its harder to use smaller more regular watercolor brushes.
The difference is the rigidity. You might actually be better off cutting off your own hair to make a brush lol. Watercolor brushes are very rigid and don't retain the angle that sumi brushes do when they are wet
와우! 멋있어요
great! my mom thinks these are sick so I'm looking into them
Brilliant
wonderful！
Nice one!!or two
JC
Amazing.
What was the stamp at the very end? What does it mean?
Ethan White it’s probably an official stamp made by the artist to ensure that it’s an original.
it's like a signature for the artist
😉👍👏👏👏👏👏from Rome
amazing my friend
brilliant!
Painting fish

I can't watch this anymore, this guy is frustrating me. I wonder if he will even conceive any children with this kind of hesitation?
Go away. I have been painting for 40 years, and he is great.
Very beautiful !
Thanks!
