My second demo was to show how to paint roses. I made everybody very tense at the workshop. I was painting very slowly, making sure every stroke counts. I painted quite a few roses by now, but I still feel it is tremendously challenging. I wish I could have practiced more, because I have not seen much progress in my rose paintings for a while. I am working on freeing more time for painting this year. So far I have not seen any effect. But I am trying. Although I am teaching, but I don't feel I know much more than my students. Many of artists attending my workshops are spectacular painters. They inspire me and help me grow. I am really grateful about that.Wednesday, February 24, 2010

and yet these roses are stunning - esp against the blue cup - lovely. thank you for inspiring us!
ReplyDeleteyou are so brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThe roses are nice. It is always pretty difficult to pull that off in front of an audience (at least for me).
ReplyDeleteI think you are much too modest, the roses are lovely! I can attest to the fact that your work was very careful and deliberate while executing this painting. The whole class was holding their breath. It was the only time during the workshop when everyone was quiet. There was a definite climax when you laid in the handle for the cup. Two strokes folks! Genius in action...
ReplyDeleteYou are so humble.
ReplyDeleteBut you are also very talented, and you are open to learning and growing as an artist all the time. You have all the requirements for continued success.
By the way, you really captured the roses quite nicely; I feel as though I could reach out and touch them. Nice work.
Honest teacher you are!
ReplyDeletebellisimos cuadros .. un abrazo grande desde Argentina tienes traductor please..!!!
ReplyDeleteQiang,
ReplyDeleteI've seen your work many times on Daily Painters and just love visiting your blog. These are simply lovely. Thank you for sharing your daily work!
These roses are just beautiful! I love the colors in this painting and the shadows on the cloth and cup. Wonderful painting!!
ReplyDeleteI remember when you started studying roses. I was so inspired, and tried to concentrate on roses, too. You really seem to have them figured out, though, even though you struggle. I am so glad your workshop went well.
ReplyDeleteThose roses are so beautiful! You are spectacular, and I hear your workshops are as well! -Amber
