gorgeous! A good sense of humor and an incredibly easy, but informative style of conveying information go such a long way in teaching. it's so lovely to know there are teachers like him out there!
I really love this way of art. I also love your philosophy of not comparing your work to others as long as you enjoy the process! I'm sure it takes alot of practice to get this technique satisfactorily. I have one bamboo brush and some Paul Rubens black watercolor pigment and I tried bamboo. I was happy with my illustration. I am not Chinese or Asian but I know that it's good to experiment with all kinds of mediums! Thank you for sharing your skill.
Thank you for your video. It was a shame that we didn’t get to see the bamboo painting you did a few days earlier as you covered it up straight away and the overhead camera didn’t focus on it either. Better luck (for us) next time.🥰
Thank you for sharing this information. I am obsessed with anything Japanese since travelling there. I started with kumihimo with a marudai. I began art a few years ago and now wanting to learn Sumi E. Your video was very informative. 😊
It is a wonderful presentation! Thank you so much. One thing I noticed is that a misconception that Washi has rice in it... It was wrongly translated into rice paper by the west. Rice paper is something that you wrap candy in the olden days. Washi is traditionally made of mulberry barks.
Thanks! It would be helpful if the Over Head camera could/should be oriented so the viewer can see the image right side up. I had a friend who used to do mostly beautiful postcard sized prints some of which I luckily was a gifted. He has passed on now, but I was always interested in the medium and will now attempt to use the technique so I can paint some Shoji screens I'm making.
Also I might add some humour to this in that signing my name in English is a dead giveaway!LOL!!! LOVE FROM FLORIDA! FREEDOM IN THE WORLD AND END THE WAR SO WE CAN LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY! AMEN!!!
The bamboo’s leaf does NOT grow on side stem like you did! Need to create a network of stems/alternating stems from each joint! Then leaves come off END of those stems…need to OBSERVE bamboo to be botanically correct❗️❗️To give bamboo the respect it deserves ❗️
I imagine he was just expediting the technique, and not trying to be 'Botanically' correct. It helps if one gets out of their box and doesn't think literally or pedantically.
A GOOD TEACHER. LOVED WATCHING THIS VIDEO AND HOPE THERE ARE MORE. HE IS FABULOUS!
I wanna spend a whole day with this man.
Me too we need him to demonstrate more!!!

If using colored ink sticks, do you need a grinding stone for each color?
Thank you

Settle down Carolyn. No one asked you.
Imagine giving more respect to a plant than a person sharing information.
It's art not botany😂😂😂😂😂
It’s ART , u do what ever u want on it , there’s nothing called logic when u paint so there’s no rules or shapes It must be adhered to
thank you
