Beautiful painting, beautiful technique, learn a lot from you, thank you Sir 🙏

That was a great watch. Thanks

Great your unique... such amazing painting with realistic...

I just love your videos and your running commentary which is so much calmer and nicer than my own very chastising running commentary! Brilliant stuff, thank you for this.

You are not only a master of the art, but you are also an angel too and very kind

[@deeporter7369]

Wonderful painting. I have been painting with watercolours for 3 years now. I have to keep reminding myself not to overwork it. I find your instructions very helpful. Love that you utilize minimum supplies for maximum effect. Thank you.

[@CarolynZbavitel]

Wonderful video and painting!! Love your teaching and style!

[@tinaschmidtsart]

Great work, love the limited pallet and contrast between warm and cool tones! And the deep range of values. The washes in the background are fresh and graphic, drying so nicely with a sense of texture. Great instruction too! Thank you for sharing you love of painting with the world.

[@gm201253]

Mr.Chen you make it it all so easy, I am a great fan of yours.

[@YongChen]

Thank you very much

[@c.shakeshaft2582]

This is wonderful but also a problem for me. He makes it look so easy that you think, "I can do that" . Then you realise his immense talent when you see just how difficult it really is

[@vivianyuan6818]

Great techniques, the brushes look like magic in your hand. Love the way you mix the colours use only 3 primary colours and apply them use your magic wands. Very enjoyable. Hope I can try this style of portrait paintings. I watched your video every week. Thanks.

[@YongChen]

Thank you so much 😀Vivian. How do you like the brushes?

[@vivianyuan6818]

I am still waiting my brushes to arrive, can’t wait to try them. Lots to learn. Thank you!

[@fbpliegorrivero8869]

This definitely is a great watercolor painting 🎨

[@YongChen]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@raymondli3173]

It is impressive demo. I am struggling to print in a relaxing mood and be decisive. It is amazing to see how you achieve deep darkness without overdoing it.

[@YongChen]

You can do it!

[@patriciasmith1196]

I love watching you Mr. Chen. You make it all seem so very simple/easy. I do not like painting people, so far. Wonder why?!

[@donnabrooks7783]

Just beautiful! I bought some water color and paper, but am too unsure with myself to go for it! I love your way of teaching and I will try to practice till I get it! Thank you so, so much for being so generous with your teaching skills! I love all your work.

[@YongChen]

Have fun!

I bought the brushes on line. The calligraphy brush didn’t look like the one Mr Chen uses even when new. The hair fell out so much I had hair everywhere. I guess I was too hard on it or something but not happy with my purchase. Love the vids however and thank you.

[@heiketrotno764]

What a wonderful painting! Where do you find such beautiful fotos? And can I also download this foto? I love to paint african people/ women in this way ... with the beautiful, colorful dresses. Thank you for your good instructions !!

[@callmedeno]

Would be very helpful to post the reference photo in details or even show a large version of it in video. A lot of us like paint along sometimes it's difficult when the reference is so small

[@laurishaw7788]

Hi, I am a student of Professor Chen's. All the references he uses are available as well as hundreds of his videos when you join EnjoyingArt.com. I hope to see you there soon.

[@YongChen]

Noted!

[@utshamurmu1401]

Beautiful painting. Beautifully described.Two question to ask. Which paper, hp / cp paper you prefer and do you streach the paper?

[@YongChen]

Most time I used CP paper. and most time I use tape to all edges without wetting the paper when I paint small.

[@raymondli3173]

Does it make a difference to start with the main object first or the background first ? What are the considerations. I usually start with the main figure first before I complement it with the background.

[@laurishaw7788]

Hi, I am a student of Professor Chen's and just the other day, we had a painting session where a student asked the same question. His response was that there was no right way; it depended on you feeling. His personal preference is most of the time to paint the background after he knows where the main object will be located. This is because of his method of painting the large shapes first.

[@Hot88s]

I am learning and practicing your paint technique. I have been struggling with wanting to put many details in my paintings and your videos are teaching me how to paint without all the tiny details. Thank you. can you tell me where I can buy a 3 paint well dish like you use. I have searched for this and can not find one. Thank you again for showing us your technique. I have purchased your brushes and love them.

[@YongChen]

Brian, you can find an Asian supermarket in your area and you will find it in the dishes area. Have fun. If you really can't get one in your location, I will try to find some in Boston.

[@umadevimallan4457]

Which paper you prefer? Hot press or cold press. It’s looks so easy but really really difficult for me.

[@YongChen]

I use mostly cold pressed. Sometimes I use hot pressed for some delicate small painting.

[@geraldobicudo6284]

Ele é muito 👍.

[@elizabethschopen6914]

I love this piece,thank you! I ordered your paint brushes, but did not get any time frame when I might receive them? Any idea? Will be thrilled to try this

[@YongChen]

Elizabeth, your brushes will be shipped on Monday (tomorrow) and it may take a few days to get to you since you are in the west coast and we are in the east coast. Once the package in the hand of post officers, we will send you an email with a tracking number. Thanks for your support.
