what kind of paper,brush and paints? O.o (i´m from Chile) sorry my english :/

@bmbers In this DVD I am using double shuen (thick) rice paper which I have pre-mounted on a board. The brushes are are traditional Chinese round brushes made from natural animal hair. I like hard or springy hair, described in catalogs as weasel or wolf hair, or bamboo/orchid brush. If I am painting peonies, I may use a softer goat hair brush.

BEAUTIFUL :) HERMOSO! my favorite video of watercolor i have seen here. i´m just learning and this inspired me to keep learning ;) thanks for sharing this.

@bmbers I am glad you are feeling inspired; I am still learning too! We go on learning our whole lives. My teacher is 88 and he says he is still learning. The colors I am using on this DVD are silk dyes because they are very bright and vibrant. They are not easy to use, though, so I recommend using the traditional Chinese chips or tubes like Miss Marie's watercolors.

Both artist and musician are skilful and self-assured and the partnership creates a real sense of tranquillity. I did not want it to end. It ought to be on tv!
