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!
This was one of the first videos I used to educate myself, in 2009. The composition of the painting and you determined strokes are impressive. It has been a while but I picked up on painting bamboo again, and I am back at your video. Thank you. Regards from Cambodia. Few days ago I bought some Japanese brushes, an ink stone and an old ink stick in a Japanese second hand shop in town. Xx
I am delighted to hear that my video of bamboo and bird has been helpful. And great that you are painting again! Have fun!
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.
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!
Your strokes so assured and old school... so mesmerizing. And the bird...looks like flying away anytime. Brilliant. Bravo bravo bravo!
Lovely! Thanks for sharing ! From Toronto🇨🇦
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting!
probably my 10 best-spent minutes of today so far. thank you for sharing your inspiring talent
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.
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 UA-cam account, and you can find more in-depth tutorials on my blog at www.joyfulbrush.com, plus many galleries of paintings.

This was so positively therapeutic I forgot about even trying to paint along and just watched. I am sure my bp lowered. 🙏

Thank you! I am glad you are enjoying my painting videos!
Absolutely amazing
Thank you for your enthusiastic activities
You're welcome! Painting is my passion!
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)
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.
It was a lovely calming experience just to watch this, Thanks for posting.
I am so glad you found it calming to watch. I still find it mesmerizing - and I'm the one painting it! Thanks for commenting. You may enjoy checking out my website joyfulbrush.
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 have been trained by Master Painter I-Hsiung Ju for 25 years and I have practiced a lot! Thank you for your comment!
Mesmerizing... Magical... You can look at it endlessly, like meditation and magic...
Thanks! Chinese brush painting does take quite a bit of study, but after a while the strokes do seem to paint themselves. I appreciate your kind comment and am very glad that it pleases your spirit. Painting it pleased mine!
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!
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!
Adorei, Virginia... você faz tudo parecer tão simples!!

@@VirginiaLloydDavies I teach art in a school, I love painting!!
it´s relaxing to see you paint
you make that this look easy but it is not
I realy like to learn
thank you so much I enjoy it
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.
This is my first comment to anything I've ever seen on the web. Your work is truly beautiful, inspirational and mesmerizing to watch. Thank you.
Thank you, Rebecca! I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed watching my work. You can watch more videos on my youtube channel and also on my website blog joyfulbrush.

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!

THANK YOU!
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

Gracias, Maria!
I think the best hart is paint to national and seems alife bamboo,this paint is the best,thank you~
Thank you for your kind comment.
Very nice. I learned how to do that many years ago by a Chinese teacher when I was in the orient. Wish I kept it up. I like how you put music to it.
Thanks, Grannie Annie! It's never too late to get back to it. I bet you'd find it would come right back, like riding a bicycle!
Thanks! It's taken many years of practice to reach this level. Why not try it? It is very satisfying to see the strokes appear on the rice paper. That's what I first fell in love with - black ink on rice paper.
Just no words...Ahhhhh...
Smiling!
I love painting and try my hand at it as it's made to look so easy for art lovers
I'm delighted that you have found my videos inspiring. Good luck and happy painting!
