Thanks for the video! It seems that the petals have several different tones on them, how do you add the ink onto the brush and how do you control the brush to achieve that?

[@blueheronarts]

1) wet the brush with clean water completely; 2) dilute a little ink with water to get a light tone and load about 1/2 of the brush; 3) get a little darker gray on the tip without blending. Hold the brush at t slant position to paint so you will get the gradation from darker gray to light grey.

Hello Mr. Li, I hope you are well, and I have to thank you for the vast video library of wonderful learning material you have built up over the years! I've been finding them very useful and inspiring. I've been practicing the grasses and flower petals of the orchid, but I cannot grasp the rules for stamen placement. I'm having trouble imagining where to place them, or where they are on real orchids (I've never seen a real example of the type of orchid thats represented the Four Gentlemen.) If you have any advice I would be so grateful!
Cheers~
Happy painting! :)
