I got so many feedbacks on my white cup painting. I wish I could reply all your kind emails and comments personally. Thank you all very very much. I will practice what I learned from you and report to you in the near future. At this moment, I just want to share one thing that I have learned. The major reason I did not see much colors on my white cup was my light. I am using a color corrected spot light. The light was so concentrated on the object and environment surrounding it was in dark, so I did not have different colored light reflected into the cup. This friend suggested I should look at my object under daylight, and I did. It was strikingly difference. Now I got some idea to improve my illumination, and I will demonstrate to you later.

I named my today's painting "Blue Monday" maybe not very relevant. It reflects more my mood today rather than the painting. I am a little blue today, but it is all right. Life goes on and more paintings will come out.

This is beautiful, Qiang Huang. I love that cool spot of blue on the vase. I find that sometimes when we are blue, the best thing is to paint, and to work all of those blue feelings out through the paint.

I can see the "blueness" of your mood in the restlessness of the "wind" and action in this painting, and Qiang, capturing that mood it is SO very amazing. I love this painting--it grabs at my heartstrings, very Dao. I hope your heart feels more settled tomorrow.

hi, quiang I paint every night , because I have another job during the day and for the light I bought the special daylight which I can clip on my easel. I use another daylight to light up the objet I paint but not alone with a normal lamp too wich light up the rest of the room. if you are interresting go to daylight.com .
Anyway i like your painting I will want to know wich color you used to create that beautiful pink
color.

This is gorgeous. You do such a
great job of painting roses. I think they are a little tricky to get right without overpainting them.
