Twisting - a Trick of Chinese Brush Painting 

Love this type of video that shows the little tips and tricks that too many people take for granted and don't think to explain to us beginners! Thanks!

Thank you Master Henry! This is the most useful video I've ever watched!!!! You're very generous and kind enough to teacher beginners like me struggling to learn Chinese painting..Thank you..

I have always loved Chinese art work. And you make it so easy. I'm a visual learner, so I appreciate the time and easy way you have with your teaching. May you be blessed for your care for others forever.☺️

Thank you for sharing what you know about this expression. I'm humbled that this art goes back so many years, passing on a specific sense of being in tune with a wholeness & mystery in nature, along with certain ancient, revered tools, media & openness, of which we are a part, to the levels that we allow and seek to feel and inhabit for now. How lovely is the chance and choice to receive a way to express, to fill this moment and perhaps pass it further on. Thank you for your time and generosity.

Thank you for sharing. I have a difficult time doing the orchid leaves. Your brush strokes are so gentle. Thank you again for your videos.

Thanks Barbara for your appreciation of this old video! The ending part showed two students works done with the same brush.

Beautiful technique. Thank you, this is what I've been looking for.

Thank you for showing this technique. My painting is now improving a lot.

Love your videos. Informative--and very meditative! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much. Such valuable instruction. Deeply grateful for your time.

HI! HENRY LI THAT'S AN EXCELLENT DEMONSTRATION CHINESE BRUSH, PAINTING I ALWAYS WONDER HOW TO ACHIEVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STROKE, THANKS.

i have an art project for school. i must paint a scene of nature using the chinese ink and sumi brush. i have never used these before in my life, so i am looking at your videos to help and inspire me to begin. thank you.

Yes, I was talking a lot in this video(1/3 are cut out diue to timeout limit). Did you check the connection between the speaker and the computer? Try "twist" the plug a little bit in and out and see if that helps. Hope you can hear the sound now.

Thank You. I am learning now to do chinese brush painting

Thanks you! My "book" is my online class at ChineseBrushPainting.ning.com.

Hello All, Hello Shifu! I have a question. I assume that traditionally people where sitting on the floor and painting on the floor? Whether its is the case or not? Studying in Japan, we love to sit on the tatami, it is a great feeling to be grounded, even tho the energy is not flowing straight from our feet.I know often we twist our body, I am aware we could sit centered too. Any recommendation? And is kungfu, or through the movement, we learn to remain centered and celebrate the Chi. Do you also consider it can add dynamism to the flow? Or should we correct our posture?

hello thanks for sharing your great demo videos. did you know where to by good materials for ink painting.

Hi, Thank you so much for your teaching. I really appreciate your videos. Just out of curiosity, where did you learn Chinese painting?

Where would be the best place to get the brushes you use?

would you recommend a soft brush, like a sheep hair brush for the wild orchid stroke?..........ie. rather than a combination brush with sheep and wolf hair?

It has been a long time since you made this video, but I was wondering maybe you remember if you were working on cooked or half cooked paper? It does not look like raw to me, but I thought I should ask. I am a beginner, so I can not tell exactly. Thank you in advance. Great video. I will definitely be practicing the twisting movements. Even in my wayercolor painting as well!

I don't know why, but I am not getting sound on your new videos. I can see you must be explaining things, but no matter what browser I use I get no sound on this new video.
