I have always admired your paintings! The details and brush strokes are very nice! Question, how do you have such a steady hand?

(:

[blueheronarts]

@Maplepaw1 Thank you for watching my YouTube channel! To answer your question on how I have a steady hand, I have to say that I don't have a steady hand like you might think I have, so when I draw details or a calligraphic stroke I have to mobilize my whole body from my feet, which are always leveled on the ground when I paint, to my shoulder and arm, all the way to the finger tips, and adjust my breath so I can devote all my energy into the brush strokes. Shaking hand is OK or even better.(:

how to add and whre to put peach sap glue ? >.< erm maybe stupid question but me :D wonder

[blueheronarts]

@chickenchan2001 Thanks for asking. Just add it into the water(about 10% depending your needs) and use the glue water instead of water to mix with watercolors or ink.

Scalier...it's called traditional Chinese brush painting and it's one of the oldest and most unique forms of art in the world. Its goal reaches far beyond pure resemblance of the outer looks of an object. Do a little research about it? You're slipping at the very surface my friend.

Thank you for this beautiful tutorial. It's a pleasure to watch your skill.
