sumi e chinese painting bluegrass ????

First try at sumi e painting, thought it would help me understand tones and hues better, It is harder than it looks, I am learning off of other you tubers. http://www.youtube.com/user/kazushimura http://www.youtube.com/user/blueheronarts http://www.youtube.com/user/yanghaiying
Kazu, has advised me that I need to study the bamboo more (thank you, Kazu) so please do not look at my paintings while learning how to paint bamboo, I haven't been around much bamboo.
Haiying has advise me to try painting something that I know, that I have seen like the pine tree, (thank you Haiying), I will keep practicing the bamboo and also try and paint the pinetree next, she has good videos on the pine.

background music is me learning to play bluegrass with other people. strange combo but it kind of works in a warped kind of way.

Your bamboo may not be exactly correct but I wouldn't know. They look wonderful to me! Keep it up. That bluegrass sounds pretty good too. What instrument do you play?

I think I have the bamboo stalks correct, but not the leaves. I've never seen the leaves in real life.

believe it or not, those where mostly lap dulcimers being played, it sounds so good because I was playing with champions, mine is the one closest to the mic, I'm an intermediate player, unable to memorize songs because of brain trauma, I read from music tab, I think I would like to have learned the mandolin better, but couldn't get my old damaged hands around the neck or the mandolin

Never would have guessed you had any challenges from the art, the music and the creative engineering on the watercolor tin you did. You are very gifted, and a gift. Thanks for your posts, keep 'em coming.

:) it's been a struggle, but every year I am better than the year before... it took a few years to relearn typing and computers, every day is a chance to improve, never give up, plus I was fortunate I wasn't very far gone. when I'm sitting still you can't tell a thing, it's when I start moving or talking you will notice that things aren't quite right.

hi back at you, I enjoy the experience of Sumi e and Chinese painting, It is so much more relaxing than western painting, I haven't painted much lately but your videos are encouraging.

Hi there! It´s great to know there are other people learning chinese painting out there! I have just began too, and people as kazushimura, blueheronart and yanghaiying are doing a great job, so we can learn a lot from them :)
