Chinese painting is very sophisticated. Unfortunately it's not widely recognized in the West. I believe that Chinese painting is a very high form of art and interrelated with the art of calligraphy, poetry, seal carving, paper mounting,making etc.etc. Not to forget so many styles & schools.I believe the Chinese art is even more sophisticated then Most Western art. If you look closely you will see what I mean.
Thank you so much! Your work is so beautiful and I appreciate your time. I love your background music as you paint; very relaxing. I have a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine even though I am a Scottish girl, and find myself always migrating back to China in my mind; maybe from a past life???? I wish I could have learned this while I was in medical school but was too busy learning how to heal people.
hi you`re so good at painting . i tried doing it the same way , but it just doesnt work out with my paintbrush . so i`m gonna buy some chinese ones , which sizes do you use most ?
@bodil15 The basic set of two brushes, or the combination hair brush(baiyun) if you only want to buy one. They can be found in my online store. Thanks!
Your paintings are wonderful. I only stumbled upon your work as I love goldfish (I'm an enthusiastic hobbyist) your work portrays the goldfish in a very realistic and fluid way.
I'm subscribed to a couple other asian artists and they painted goldfish this past week too. I was crious if there was a reason for this, maybe New years or January?
In Chinese culture, yes, "fish"(Yv) sounds same as "surplus". Nian Nian You Yv ("every year has surplus"). Jing-Yv or goldfish also sounds same as "Gold-Jade" symbolize wealth in Chinese painting.
Aw, how cute! It never fails to amaze me how you can make this demanding art look so simple. I'm still struggling with simple bone strokes! But I won't give up practicing! Thank you for sharing!
I've always wanted to learn about this!!

i tryed doing this but the red ran into the black. is the trick to use less water in making your colours to make it less runny?

@MrPurplecrow You may try to do it with ink and water only first or use red color only.
