  • Thanks, Mag. The key to Chinese brush painting is practice. We were all beginners once. If you can, set up a table somewhere and lay out your brushes, ink and paper. Have a filled water container ready to go so whenever you have five minutes to spare you can do some strokes. It makes a big difference. Watch all my videos with a brush in hand so you can mimic my strokes; watch the angle of the brush in particular. Above all, enjoy yourself!

  • Absolutely beautiful! I am a traditional Watercolorist whom was looking for peonies and you have captured this magnificently. Flowers and leaves so elegant. Thank you so much for sharing your talent on YouTube!!!

  • @HappyRembrandt Thanks for viewing my video. The secret with Chinese style peonies is that there are definite strokes for the leaves and petals. On this video, I am using silk dyes on rice paper, which gives the colors a wonderful vivid translucence.

  • Glad you like it. I practiced peonies for a year (about 20 years ago) to get the hang of them. The trick is to be loose with the petals so that they seem both delicate and lively.

  • Beautiful

  • Thanks!
