Hi there, Liron here! And in today's episode of Painting Masters we'll look at works by Jasmine Huang (also known as Huang Hsiao-Hui).
Jasmine is a very skilled watercolor painter. She is a master of both technique and vision.
I am particularly fascinated by just how much her washes are connected, and the level to which she exploits wet-in-wet with masterful control.
She is also, coincidentally, Chien Chung Wei's spouse (:
Their styles do share some similarities. but are still quite distinct.
Let me know if there's an artist you want me to feature in this series (I'm always happy to add new ones to the already-huge list).
I hope you enjoy this one!
- Liron

I think the paining of the rusty buckets/pots (18:31) is by David Chauvin

[@LironYan]

Thank you for pointing that out! Will pin it so it's visible 🙏🏼 Going to post a new Painting Masters episode on Saturday - and this time I made sure 100% not to make a mistake 😬

[@toffym101]

@@LironYan attribution is not always easy especially if no signature is visible. You're doing a great job! Thank you for that.

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 And the good news is - I added him to my list as well 😉 Wasn't familiar with his work!

[@judyh3017]

Liron, that painting at 22:38 of an artist’s work area might also be David Chauvin’s work. I looked up KZbin videos to check out his work and saw that painting there. The video was posted by Alex Ivanov.

[@carolferguson5467]

The shadow on the wall took me up the building to look at the Balcony into the corner, down to the dock and the boats and then into the water and back up!!! Just magnificent

[@LironYan]

That one is super incredible 🤩

[@user-qf8gf3qn5g]

I enjoy your videos and the casual way that you speak. Your videos are very informative and relaxing at the same time.

[@judyh3017]

I was very impressed with her husband’s work but had not seen her work. All I can say is...Wow! I love her style! I like her choice of topics and colors. So subtle but effective. Thx for introducing her, Liron!

[@anam00090]

Thank you for introducing another painter I hadn't heard of. Her control of the mid values is extraordinary. In the first painting, the turquoisy hue of the windows and elements of the left building seem to match the hue of the water and it ties the whole scene together. Love the lighting on the people and the varying edges of the boat.

[@LironYan]

So happy you enjoyed this one 😊🙏🏼 Her work is indeed very impressive in the attention to not only the major shapes and composition, but also the minor details and arrangement of secondary elements.

[@btwilks]

Gorgeous depiction of (and control of) light in all of these paintings, Liron - as well as the expert merging of washes that you pointed out. My word, you do have a knack of finding such interesting artists that we might otherwise never have heard of. Really enjoyed this one ... ... except for the sad fact that it caused to me to throw my last 300 paintings in the trashcan (only joking!). I've also just finished watching the video where you painted your girlfriend and her friends studying in your apartment and I think I now have just one of your extended-length videos to catch up on. You've really spoiled us with with some truly excellent material recently. Many thanks and warmest wishes from Florida, Brian.

[@TheLeahsKitchen]

For me this was so much more interesting than just watching someone paint. You have marvelous insight and a very good eye. I simply loved this video.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Really happy to hear, and more to come!

[@jackiepankuck730]

Thank you so much for introducing her to us. She is definitely my new favorite watercolorist. The granulation she achieves is incredible. I wonder if she uses granulation medium. I bought some from WN recently but haven't experimented with it. I also notice that a few of her pieces have a "spider web-like" look. There is a book by Frederick Wong called Oriental Watercolor Techniques (got it on Amazon). He talks about watercolor painting on masa paper (rice paper I think). The technique includes crumpling the paper and then straightening and the paint sits in the creases. Really cool, but won't work with regular watercolor paper. Thanks again...so great. And I LOVE your channel! Thank you for all the work.

[@LironYan]

Wow, that's fascinating, there's so much to learn from eastern painters 🤩 Some of the artists' techniques are so impressive there. I would love to know how she achieved that "spider web" look. Happy you enjoyed this one 😊🙏🏼

[@jengoodwyn2715]

She's extremely skilled. I'm impressed!

[@LironYan]

She is definitely something special 🤩🎨

[@thejoydecision724]

Absolutely looking forward to you talking more about merging washes. 🤩👍

[@kdbhoney]

Stunning! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this skilled artist! The first painting (on the water) is my favorite, oh that balcony is calling me! The last painting is almost haunting, that stunning and wonderful glow can touch anyone stuck in a creative block. Many thanks!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 So happy to hear, I felt the same about many of these 🤩

[@rebeccapage4411]

Wow, wow, wow! Never seen her work before--so enjoyed this introduction. Thank you 🙂

[@chrlmlln9018]

Shalom to you dear Liron! Toda Toda Rabbah to you, sir, for sharing this wonderful artist, Jasmine Huang, and her lovely and very skilled way of painting in watercolor! Your YT-Channel is amazing and always giving important facts and much much of inspiration and deeper insights in a friendly and nice way at the same time! Wishing you, dear Liron, all the very very Best always! Greeting from Sweden!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much my friend 😊🙏🏼 Very happy I could provide education and entertainment!

[@lvmylord54]

Her work is just beautiful!

[@LironYan]

Yes, that pink floral has such a special look as well 🤩🎨

[@janetdegrano7945]

Love this so much!

[@slaicerise5075]

Thank you for this instructive discovery.

[@carolferguson5467]

Gorgon works! I think some of those lights are lifted. I'd bet that she works on 300 lb hot pressed paper which gives you that incredible mix of wet on wet and the best lifting capability ❤️

[@LironYan]

Yes that seems to be the case! Hot press really can allow these lifting capabilities 😁

[@eleanortaylor4389]

Very beautiful paintings! She does really well showing the light effects.

[@LironYan]

Yes, amazing skill 😁

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

If I would see those paintings...maybe I wouldn't understand so much....as you were taking through....superb indepth explanation . Thanks again

[@LironYan]

Thank you my friend 😊🙏🏼

[@lewisroadstudio9270]

The abstract looks like a ski lift, one carriage in the foreground, another in the middle, and mountains in the background.

[@LironYan]

Genius 😁😁 Now I can't unsee it 😂😂

[@nancyleigh-smith2796]

Great video. Your comments showed me why I liked the paintings too. Thanks.

[@LironYan]

My pleasure 😇

[@smgonyoapache]

Amazing artist. Thank you for making this video of her work.

[@LironYan]

My pleasure 😊🙏🏼 Thank you

[@smilebrightly3666]

Enjoyed 😀. There's no way that I could have deconstructed this by myself and wouldn't have been any fun. This much better lol. Thank you for sharing!

[@LironYan]

Haha it's such a challenging painting! I tried having a go at it and it was really hard. Thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@toffym101]

Excellent job Liron! Thank you. I am really glad you covered Jasmine Huang. She deserves it . Her skills, technique and taste are mindblowing. Just one note...she paints mainly on Arches Hot pressed paper.

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@djheadcandy]

According to the edition of Splash her work appeared in she works on 640gsm Arches cold pressed - which makes more sense as is easier to get granulation on cold pressed than hot pressed

[@toffym101]

@@djheadcandy that's what she replied to a direct question of a follower on her FB page who asked what paper she was using.

[@rachelm7525]

Thank-you for sharing this, what mastery of light and color she has! (If you can call a lady a 'master', I don't know!) Your expert knowledge really makes us appreciate the work on a deeper level. I'm really looking forward to that 'connecting washes' tutorial. Thanks 🙂

[@LironYan]

Haha sure I can call her a master 😂Thank you 😁🙏🏼

[@rachelm7525]

that's an interesting question. I'll have to give that some thought 🙂

[@daggerhy]

Now I know how to enjoy a painting. Thank you

[@wystemd]

Jasmine is an incredible painter!

[@LironYan]

Indeed 😁

[@mediumchaaya2360]

These are outstanding paintings..thanks for sharing n explains ....i realy appreciate ur efforts too.thank you ❤👍

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@sallyday8182]

I tried painting the Venice scene. No where close but learned so much. Thank you!

[@glorioskiola]

Very, very nice. Thanks so much!

[@ashlyrz252]

Wow! I'd love to see a video from her.... I'd even take a super fast speed paint 😂 especially that very first painting. Mind boggling!

[@LironYan]

Haha same here 😁😁😱

[@WmAnnis]

I'm happy to see the Bargue plate practice behind you.

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Did quite a few of these

[@agurtzanekartiber4711]

Que maravilla para llegar donde ha llegado hay que tener un don especial felicidades

[@pjs3514]

Thank you. Very informative and enjoyable

[@LironYan]

Happy you enjoyed, thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@olgakozlova4413]

Thanks you for introducing this amazing artist. Do you know what paints, pigment or medium does she use? Her paintings are has this kind of special granulated effect texture.

[@anneadamczewski4187]

Wow magnificent artwork!

[@LironYan]

She is insanely skilled (:

[@4sgsteve37]

Hey Liron - as always, brilliant job - I really enjoy the painting masters series. I would love to see you do one on Maxfield Parrish, an illustrator in the early 20th century. Though he worked in oils, he built up his paintings layer by layer with glazes, and his paintings are glowing! I am virtually certain that if you were to Google him, you would recognize some of his work. Thanks!

[@LironYan]

Wow, I love the glow in his work! 🤩 I wasn't familiar with it, but will add to my list, thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@HerradaJulio]

Excelent, thanks

[@frenchgrama]

Thanks - I hadn’t her of Jasmine Huang - before and I love her work as much as Chien Chung Wei’s. Yes, please do a video on merging washes - this is my greatest struggl with watercolours. Theoretically, I get it and your tips about it BUT I have great difficult in executing my plan...

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Yes, can be a bit of a challenge. But once you learn how to apply that to specific scenes it's easier. Once you can "see the path", so to speak, to the specific scene you are working on, it gets easier. Will talk about it in a future video.

[@anartistpatty8912]

Thank you for sharing.

[@LironYan]

My pleasure 😊🙏🏼

[@coreyholt8522]

Most tutorials i've watched say the highlights, lowlights and the contrast are what make a painting interesting. How do hers work so well with mostly middle values?

[@LironYan]

It’s not necessarily the amount of each of these components, but more about their (relative) accuracy to the scene 😊🙏🏼 You can play around with them to an extent

[@jpdevs]

A great choice for something completely different would be to do an Alex Ross review. He works in comics, but the use of watercolor is great.

[@LironYan]

That's a great idea! I'll be happy to "break my own mold" if it's something I'll also be interested in. Will add him to my list, thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@jefim4670]

Thanks... Mind opening

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear, thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@danthomas6587]

I think you might be inspired by the watercolors of Ogden Pleissner. An oldie but a goodie 😉

[@ruthbowe9295]

I believe they were wooden frames, not books or boxes. I also love her work

[@LironYan]

Yes, you are correct! 😊🙏🏼

[@jinxmas]

Lian Quan Zhen.... omg

[@LironYan]

Looks beautiful 😍 Will dive deeper into their work! 😁🙏🏼

[@jinxmas]

@@LironYan his demonstration on "Grapes" blows me away.

[@sincostanian]

Great series, I love discovering / learning about new artists :)! Some other favourites you might consider are Yuko Nagayama (@yuko_nagayama), Hazel Soan (@hazelsoan), Helen Ström (@helenstrom.art), Eugen Chisnicean (@eugen.chisnicean), Maja Wrońska (@majatakmaj).

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Of these, I only knew about Yuko and Eugene, will look up the rest! 😁🎨

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

🙏🙏🙏

[@LironYan]

😊😊

[@actomba]

Hey Lyron! Her work is absolutely amazing. Can I suggest an artist for a review? I’d be very happy to see your comments on Dean Mitchell’s watercolors. Thank’s bro!

[@LironYan]

Thank you, I already have him on my list 😉 Was quite amazed when I discovered him. Really impressive!

[@actomba]

Yeah! Thank you, Bro!

[@coreyholt8522]

Could you start telling the size of the paintings? Thanks for the video!

[@LironYan]

Thank you - if I know I’ll tell 😉

[@uncoveringthelost]

Great video. Any plans to put your art podcast on Spotify? I'm an android guy.

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 I believe you can get it on Stitcher & Google Play (: And the daily podcast (Liron's Daily Art Thought) should already be on Spotify. I promise to look into it!
