Can't resist adding to the comments already registered - what a gentle soul and what talent! Looks like God squeezed a bathtub load of talent into that sweet Chinese gentleman. I would love to see more too...thanks for having him. Joe, you did GOOD! thanks a million for introducing him to us...

I enjoyed your video, especialy watching Lian do his bird. I had the pleasure of seeing him live in one of his workshops, in North Bay On., Canada. His art is like Candies to the eyes...loved everyone of them

I'm really amazed by this man! I was reading his book the other day and that's how I searched for him.

I started dabbling in Chinese brush painting about 6 years ago. Like Lian, my background was in medicine and, unfortunately, I wasted several years of access to a wonderful tutor…well, it wasn’t all wasted. I learned more calligraphy than actual painting; but CBP & Calligraphy often use the same strokes. What I DID also get was enough brushes, paper, ink sticks, etc to practically start my own class..except I stopped ALL art for a number of years..then, last year, my precious son who had continually urged me to get back into it, passed away suddenly. I also have motivation because my vision is failing..my dear friend, who is extremely talented in Western watercolor, is now helping me out and I bought HER some CBP supplies. My old tutor, now 87? And in a nursing home in China, her great-granddaughter recently sent me 2 of Lian’s books since I am kind of fusing the 2. I was just searching for videos with Mr Zhen and I’m going to attempt my first painting using his methods today. Liang sent me his Animals book specifically because it has a cat with ALMOST the same color fur as my Princess…but still a darker orange, so I’m going to have to continue to improvise to get her much brighter orange fur.
