Strokes of a Master

having fun this week at a workshop with Qiang Huang - a masterful painter and fine guy.
Here are Qiang's (pronounced Chong Wong) strokes on the last demo for the class:

Here are my strokes. Painting it was somewhat "cheating" because it is the set up Qiang designed, but totally fun:

This one is not finished, but I learned to
focus on richer color, brief strokes, and better compositions.

Hooo-eeee! Qiang Huang! Even watercolorists [me, anyway] have heard of and admire his work! You are so fortunate. Both paintings are brilliant.

Schedule a Workshop for your group

Painting Your Vision Workshop No matter what level is current in your oil painting, its time to step up to the next level. This workshop is designed to add interest in texture and design, emphasize brushwork and edges, and explore new additions to paint techniques. We do this by using traditional methods of direct or alla prima painting, which simply means all we can accomplish in a session using rich paint to make sophisticated edges. We will explore different surfaces that affect the look of an oil painting. And we will use a simple color mixing exercise to give confidence in value and mixing the color you need. Bring your references or use my photos. Demonstrations will give suggestions to add something new to your oil paintings and painting time to bring it all together.
