Thank you guys 😊for this informative video! I love Chinese style art and the unique way the strokes appear on rice paper. You have opened a new door into art for me thank you 🙏🏼 very much!!❤❤
Thank you for your comment Mike! Where do you live? We know how much of a challenge it is for international customers to order from us. Our dream is to one day have our OAS products available to the world as conveniently as they are to our customers in the U.S.
Thank you for the comment Marilyn! We love that you are experiencing continuous learning. That is one of our favorite things about studying Chinese Painting!
Thank you for the comment! We are pleased that you found the video helpful! Thank you for subscribing and don't be shy about making requests for videos!
Great explanations, but it's a bit quiet I have already set the UA-cam player to the highest volume and my windows internal sound to the highest settings and can barely listen. The colors are not that difficult. The values have to be right in order to get an impression of an image that looks harmonious in terms of colour. Lachrie has painted a giraffe that looks as if the giraffe is lit by purple light and not as if the giraffe itself is purple, because she made sure that the values are correct and not the exact colour. This can also be transferred to other painterly techniques and materials. She says that the lights should be made light enough and the dark areas dark enough. She mostly works with coloured and acrylic paints.
Thanks for the comment AskiaLuna and for adding to everyone's understanding about color with your reference to Lachrie. We'll work on audio to attempt to pump up the base volume.
Easy solution to color trays. Just use tube paints to refill empty slots. What's the lightfastness ratings for the Yasutomo? Are they pigment paints or dye?
oh that is an interesting idea. But I think in this case, people able to see the colors without having to open the palette created the idea of a clear lid. You can always put a piece of white paper under the clear lid and the you will be able to see the colors more clearly when you mix
The two brushes used are the OAS Large Flow for the Petals: orientalartsupply.com/products/flow-brushes?variant=31421754409039 And the OAS Super Flow for the leaves: orientalartsupply.com/products/flow-brushes?variant=31421754441807 However leaves are often done with an Orchid Bamboo Brush: orientalartsupply.com/products/orchid-bamboo?variant=31296676102223 Ling Chi chose the Super Flow because she wanted a bigger brush to make the strokes easier to see for filming.
This was a fantastic video. Thank you so much! I have a question..how long should one jar of chunk yellow last? I just started class last week and I feel like it's going to be gone before I know it! :) Maybe I'm not diluting the green enough?
Thank you for your encouraging comment! We are glad you enjoyed the video. Hard to say how long the yellow should last. It depends on how much you are painting and how big the compositions are. For people who are painting regularly, they do go through quite a bit of yellow because green is such an important color. The premade jar of yellow is sold at a premium due to the convenience of having it prediluted in a jar. Buying the larger amount dry is a better value. You may try diluting the green to make the yellow last longer but if the results are what you want on the paper, then we don't recommend that you dilute the color. Color intensity is something we are always striving for and it should not be sacrificed to save a few dollars.
@@OASart Okay! :) Well I did just order the larger chip size and will start hydrating my own. I'm taking class with Mayee for the first time online and have been doing many many leaves trying to figure things out. :) I so appreciate your feedback!
@@michelleanndunphy Glad you're taking classes with Mayee. She's an excellent teacher. Yes practice, practice, practice. Takes some time to get comfortable with this style but there is much joy on the way as you increase your confidence. Let us know if we can help in any way!
@@OASart one more question... If I was going to buy some of the tube yellows for practice, would you recommend Yasumoto or Marie's? I am going through so much yellow since I'm practicing a lot. Mayee had mentioned maybe trying one to be a little more economical for practice.

Thank you, the explanation of how to load the brushes and the blending was brilliant. If I were in the USA I would be buying from you.

@@OASart Agree. Audio Level is low compared to most.

My one wish is that the lid was white for mixing. I travel a bunch and don’t carry a mixing pallet. Still going to purchase
