When you said, 'squint your eyes so you can see', you became the best art instructor ever! Anyone can be a teacher but so very few are capable of allowing us to see what you see. Thank you for your teachings!

[@YongChen]

You are welcome.

[@rosariaconteduca3192]

Grazie per i suoi insegnamenti. Lei è veramente bravo!

[@T3po69]

Incredible!

[@sayusayme7729]

It’s surprising to me that new generations of artists are not aware of this important tool.

When someone asks what it means to trust the process, send them here 🙂. Great work!

[@shrikantpotnis7901]

You are just a fantastic artist and a teacher. To make a portrait with paint and brush needs a great art within you. That also you are demmonstrating in a live show. I don't have words. God bless you.

[@tinaschmidtsart]

This is one of your more excellent pieces! I love the way you did the highlights and shadows across the form. Beautiful work as always!

[@joshmercer1438]

Wow this is a really great portrait! One of my favorites of yours!

[@gstudio33]

Love watching your palette colors mingle, beautiful.

[@amstorch]

When I saw the start of this painting, without even a pencil sketch, I thought this can't turn out well... especially the first light brush strokes, I thought...thats not even head shaped! Then you refine the form and shift things about. Absolutely brilliant. Sadly you can't teach confidence. Which is what you have. You know it's going to work. Us lesser mortals get afraid when we splash dark colours in like you do thinking we've ruined the piece but then the colours mix, wash out and dry lighter and all is not lost. I still think I've trashed my painting when I try to paint as freely as you do, but mostly a rescue operation works out fine. Keep up the excellent work.

[@YongChen]

Thank you for sharing your reaction and about "confidence" and "fear". I will keep in mind in my future lessons.

[@dougg1075]

Great lesson. I’m so drawn to watercolor, it’s just beautiful to look at. And fast

Beautiful technique and process!!!

[@commenter5555]

Thank you for sharing this interesting technique. It takes a lot of knowledge and courage to boldly move forward to produce a beautiful likeness like this one. At first, I didn't know what to expect but in the end, I was amazed how good the painting turned out.

[@ujjainimukherjee2267]

This one of many priceless arts... One of the best if not THE best

[@smz5302]

Stunning work.

[@johannalaan4901]

Mr Chen. I watch all your work but I can’t for some reason comment on your work anymore. Last night I watched you paint a little boy with a red hat. Loved it .

[@CharlesNolanArt]

I am dumbfounded I want this and I try but there is so much information that you process with ease I just don't know the words to pay you a worthy compliment. What I do know, this has to be my goal. Thank you.

[@renanlopes9144]

I follow the channel has been a while but I think I never expressed before how much those videos thought me. It is my main resource for learning how to paint and if I had never encountered I probably wouldn't be painting watercolors today because I always rated the pencil sketch process and I didn't believe you could "skipet" ... this channel changed evething for me, thank you so much and please make sure this never desapear from internet, it way to valueble!

[@SUNFLOWER-ow2sj]

This is really a drawing, painting!!!

[@tahanial_dossari3988]

I love Art and you are an artist best .

[@summerscents8284]

You are incredible! The best by far at least from my point of view. I am just awed. You not only demonstrate the process but you allow us to see what you see and how you describe certain aspects that can't be viewed in the video e.g. your thoughts, decisions, etc. Thank you so much for being generous. You are so talented and an exceptional skilled artist. So much respect here.

[@YongChen]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your encouragement.

[@tescuaycong2287]

you have that gift! amazing!

[@andrewzanas9387]

Thank you for the lessons, plural. You have renewed my appreciation for watercolor.. Might I suggest a minor touch up on the eyeglasses to include foreshortening on the size of the right lens perspective? .I never realized how much watercolor lends itself to reworking every aspect of color, hue and chroma, not to mention employing patterns emphasizing big shapes and then moving on to capture the smaller details. There is absolutely No need for drawing and outlining, ever. And what a lesson in light and exposition. It adds so much more in capturing the passion and humanity of one's subjects. It's plein air on steroids. Anything is possible. I love how you reassure yourself and your audience your decisions were correct while you are doing what you do. It immediately builds self-confidence.

[@thecentralscrutinizerr]

Mr. Chen, do you realize what a treasure you are? There are many souls on this Earth, and each and every one has value - some to make the world better place and some to make the world worse. Yours is certainly to make the world better. I have bought the very best water color paper, very fine paints, very nice brushes and I cannot bring myself to start. I don't know what it is. It's not fear of failure, its not laziness, it's like I'm just....torn. I must be going crazy. I get very inspired by your work and I suppose I will one day try to do something. But I do enjoy, if nothing else, watching you do your incredible paintings. Thank you for making the world a better place.

[@user-ic5xu4jh6z]

for me it was a good idea to start at first with swatching. Its important to learn about the behavior of your colours and how they look if you mix them together on your paper. To work with watercolour needs patients and its a good way to slow down and maybe you will have an idea or start with simple exercises like how to paint lines- just to get know the materials:-) Have fun!

[@sherylF5610]

Are you painting now? I hope so! I just started again after not painting for a whole year! I am not where I was when I left off but that's ok. The way that you get better is to paint paint paint.

[@user-ic5xu4jh6z]

@@sherylF5610 yes, all is practice! It is never only talent., many beginners have no idea what they should paint and how( techniques) to realise their own fantasy, so it is knowledge and practice. Next step was to find a motive by myself. Ideas ( the muse!) comes with practice and if you get better and better by doing one day the veil is coming! Yong Chen helped me a lot and i painted while watching this video and it worked very well! I also stoped painting for a year! I only learned theoretical stuff and watched sometimes tutorials- then i learned to have patient- also this helped me later as i started practice again. Wow!

[@richardckhunnungsue8374]

Thank you so much for this.

[@abhisheksamuel8663]

When I see your videos, watercolors look like a most easiest medium. When we do it becomes most difficult 😂... Your students are very lucky to have a teacher like you...😇
