I was deeply enchanted from beginning to end. This work is truly, truly full of emotions. I was deeply touched. I felt every movement. It's soooo beautiful,, The simplicity is divine.
Thanks! Mastery in Sumi-e and Chinese brush painting depend on two things: study and practice of the strokes, and releasing emotional energy through the strokes. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Totally amazing! I am speechless watching you paint ; do viewers understand the utter difficulty and complexity of this artform? The years and hours of practice you have dedicated now allow you to create a spontaneous masterpiece in just minutes. It is truly astounding. You make it look so easy, as as an instructor of this art form I know is it very diffcult. I am smiling and my heart is smiling. Your color unity is very unique and increases the meditative aspects. Bravo!
Your strokes so assured and old school... so mesmerizing. And the bird...looks like flying away anytime. Brilliant. Bravo bravo bravo!
Hello Felix! we always used to joke that our teacher had a magic brush, but then he disproved this by using OUR brush to create masterpieces. The right brush (hard or soft bristle) does help, but practice helps more. Good luck and happy painting!
Hola Nyuu! Yes, I studied for 30 years with Chinese painters. There are many different styles and 'schools'. My master was from the 'shei-i' or 'paint the idea' school. Painting is my passion!

Marytza Fragela Thanks, Marytza! Glad you enjoyed watching my video!
+Virginia Lloyd-Davies How much for private lessons?
+Shou Kisaragi If you come to my studio, I give you a morning or an afternoon of my time for US$100.
I have been trained by Master Painter I-Hsiung Ju for 25 years and I have practiced a lot! Thank you for your comment!
Virginia, its really wonderful that Prof. Ju I-Hsiung's legacy lives on in the hearts of many. I saw him paint in the 1960's and now I saw him again in you. However, as we evolve and mature over the many years and tons of practice, an individual technique evolves. Yes, Chinese painting becomes a very personal voyages that transcends to higher levels as the passion keeps flowing from within. Once more Virgina, congratulations an more success.
How lovely to hear from you, Reynaldo! Prof Ju was such a treasure, and he lives on in the hearts and brushes of so many of us. I have hours of video that I shot of him teaching and plan to put excerpts up on my blog joyfulbrush. I hear his voice in my head constantly, encouraging me always to reach higher.
Thanks! Greetings back to you! I too love the emptiness or negative space in Chinese painting. I think that painting or simply looking at Chinese art is restful because it simplifies our inner chaos.
This is amazing. I can't stop watching, i wish i could paint like this. Im obsessed with Chinese brush paintings
Sublime! Love bamboo paintings. I like, for example, a whole branch or twig with just two or three leaves. Very simple. I´m into Zen art. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, El Dorta! Yes, I agree; just a twig and two or three leaves can be heavenly! You can see some examples in my book, "Mindful Artist: Sumi-e Painting (Quarto books)
probably my 10 best-spent minutes of today so far. thank you for sharing your inspiring talent
Iat last I find my style and the most beautiful bamboo painting and the leaf that is I learned from you and your style is the most satisfying. thank you very much.
Thanks! I am so glad to hear you find it beautiful and helpful! You can see more of my videos on my CZcams account, and you can find more in-depth tutorials on my blog at www.joyfulbrush.com, plus many galleries of paintings.
Very pleased that Bonnie told our Chinese brush painting group about your videos. Just wonderful watching your work. Thank you.
Hello Wendy! Glad you're enjoying my videos. I appreciate your comment!
Enjoying it very much, thank you for your art.
Thank you! I am glad you are enjoying my painting videos!
Paint the idea; I like that. My high school art teacher always said, "That is not a flower. It's a representation of a flower to your brain. Don't try to paint the flower. Represent the flower.". Watching your painting emerge is a perfect example of his statement. Such beautiful music as well.
Your teacher is so interesting.
love the flowing energy of your brush stokes
I love your Chinese painting demonstrations ~ you are a real artistic inspiration!
Thanks, Bonnie! You can see my latest paintings on Facebook, where I put up mini-videos and photos with explanations of technique. Hope to see you there!
I bought a set of brushes like yours in my teens and after seeing your channel, I used them to the same picture, and it turned out quite well. Thank you.
Congratulations! Keep going! Even professional artists keep practicing!
Every brush stoke left one to be amazed at how beautiful simplicity can bring such awe and amazement。As simple as it may appear, I am sure you have been blessed with a valuable gift.I really thank you for such a wonderful video.
The way you hang the brush it doesn't seem too orthodo from above wiev.. Amazing result! Thank so much
Wonderful !!! The lightness of yours hands is something divine. Congratulations on your beautiful Chinese art. I really want to learn.
Monica Maria Cavalcante Lima Hello Monica! It is a wonderful skill to learn. I encourage you to try it! Good luck and happy painting! - Virginia
What a special treat to get to see you painting here on You Tube. I am trying to learn etegami and was searching for examples when I saw your name. I've lived here in Lexington for forty years, and have two of your beautiful paIntings hanging in my home and have given others to my children as gifts. It is amazing to see how your hand moves the brush so smoothly and effortlessly. It is as if your hand is performing a delicate dance on the paper. I will never tire of your beautiful work and your use of color painting for us the wonderful gifts of nature. Genie Robinson 10-29-16

Virginia Lloyd-Davies ，
thanks, Breck! I have painted many different subjects, but I always come back to bamboo - the energy and vitality of the bamboo trunks, the grace of the floating leaves. I understand your love of the subject!

My name is Gloria Brown . I live in a nursing home,I love your work. I watch you paint everyday. how can I get a copy of Bamboo and bird. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Thank you.
Hi Gloria. I also live in a nursing home, I am 70 and have had 4 cancer scares, but I am still here, I also love the bamboo and bird art. Wnhere can we get the brushes to do this with?
@@annadezern8416 You can buy brushes like this and ink for this on amazon. That is where I buy mine :D
@@annadezern8416 Thank you for sharing. I am also 70 and don't have years to learn this art form. But your enthusiasm comes across and I feel your joy! It's worth the try.

Lovely to know that you have taken up the brush! This technique is so rewarding! Happy painting, Colleen!
Just beautiful...ty for sharing your talent and love of painting
fantastic, Your video let me moved. I'm glad to see that there are westerners like Chinese painting, I always thought that Chinese painting are not popular in the west, I'm proud of our culture, sorry my English is poor
Many thanks for your comment. Your English is excellent! There are many people in the West who love Chinese painting. I have been doing it for over 30 years. You can also find me on facebook.
Virginia Lloyd-Davies Thinks, I was most impressed by your leaning spirit. I think Chinese painting is not easy, I can't even write Chinese character with the writing brush, it's hard to make one like yours without years practice, sorry I can't use Facebook but I will introduce the video to my friends.
林诗诗 Thanks for sharing my videos with your friends!
