so glad you like it :)

Thanks for the suggestion. We upload a new video every week and alternate mediums, which is why Lian's aren't all in order. We hope that way folks who might not be into the medium featured one week, will find something they like the next week.

Thank you for uploading more of Mr. Zhen's demonstrations. He teaches so many techniques that really define watercolor. I am wondering what happens after the paint is wet, then suddenly it is dry. Does he let it dry or does he dab water off with toweling?

There's not much art I see these days that I'd actually want to hang on my walls, but I could fill a whole room with this guys work! He is just amazing.
