    Henry, Thank you for sharing with us. I love the sensitivity of your orchid leaves.

    Some tips to beginners: 1)only use couple of drops of sumi ink for each small painting like this one; 2)load your brush with water first, then touch a little bit ink using the brush tip so it will start with dark stroke and then turns to lighter tones. The procedure, if any, is "clean the brush --> load lighter ink --> darker ink". You should repeat this procedure as your brush is exhausted.

    In Chinese painting theory, there is saying, "Treasure your ink as gold" 惜墨如金. I always use as little as the black "gold" as possible. I would never dip my brush in the bottle.

    Good question! It required mounting or backing and we do that after painting and before framing. Please search for silicone paper dry-mounting and you will see my videos about this process. Traditional wet mounting technique with flour paste is also OK but I'd use dry-mounting with silicone paper. See our web site BlueHeronArts for more info on Silicone Paper.

    @mathsfreakXXL I used bottled ink for this painting I think, but I do grind ink with inkstick for my other paintings sometimes.

    Sorry, I don't. Generally speaking they call it "Chinese Orchid" in farmer's market here in Los Angeles. It looks just like "big grass" but with small flowers that smell great.

    what kind of a brush are you using?..........I've been practicing the wild orchid, and find it extremely hard.............would you recommend a combination sheep/wolf hair brush?

    • @blueheronarts
      @blueheronarts  7 лет назад +1

      I might have used a bamboo and orchid brush, I think. Orchid require the brush with more flexibility than bamboo. Here is a good mixed hair brush I recommend www.blueheronarts.com/bonian-small-wolf-sheep-mixed-hair-brush-p-3835.html

    The woman talking is unnecessary in
    My opinion

    Henry, I have enjoyed several of your fine painting videos. But to have a woman's voice YAKKING in the background is totally unprofessional. I would have expected more from you. "Why you change your brush?......You always wash your brush?" These inane questions are so unnecessary. Why would you leave that annoying voice in there? I just don't know......

    • @blueheronarts
      @blueheronarts  10 лет назад +3

      It was one of the first videos I did seven(7 years ago). Now we have real student asking such questions as you do in the latest videos. So please keep watching the 1000 more videos and just turn off the speaker on this one. Maybe I will replace the voice with music, should I?

    • @20gilbert20

      Henry Li Thank you for your reply. I am sorry for criticizing you--I didn't notice the date of this video. Still though, her voice was annoying to me. After all these years, I would never ask you to go back and change one of your videos. As long as you are aware that this type of thing can be distracting for a student who really wants to concentrate on what you are saying......I would just leave it alone. Surely your newer videos have benefitted from your experience in making video productions. Thanks again, and a special thanks for showing me your talent and excellence with a brush!

      Gil, thanks for your understanding and appreciation. Video making is an art of its own and my wife was the person behind the camera and I think she has kept quite since this one.:-)
