Hi Everyone! My latest video “Morning Glory Flowers using Ink & Color” has been released!

CLICK HERE to see the video.

In Boneless Style painting, it is common to use ink for some parts of the painting & color for others. For this lesson, we will paint the flowers in color. We will use ink for the greenery.

Here is an overview of what is covered in the video from the “Description”:
(Below the video, click on SHOW MORE to read the complete video description – or use the down arrow, if you are viewing the lesson on a mobile device.)

Morning Glory flowers are a favorite flower in Chinese Brush Painting. Because the flowers are large, brightly colored & fragrant, they attract butterflies, bees & hummingbirds.

Introduction
Flower Anatomy & Structure
Individual Flower Components
Creating a Composition
Adding Supporting Characters (Bees)
Thank you, Wrap up with Pictures & Tips

I begin the video by drawing outlines of the flower components to help you understand the anatomy & structure. Then I will show you how to paint each of the flower parts. Practicing the components individually can be helpful. It will be easier to put them all together in a composition. When teaching how to create a composition, I will show you how to enhance your painting by adding some supporting characters, like bees. (Please watch my lesson Introduction to Color with Butterflies & Bees for more information on painting the bees.)

After the lesson, please stay tuned for tips & close-up pictures of live flowers to compare to the painted ones. By examining the flowers from different angles, you can better understand the shapes & capture the Essence of the beautiful flowers, leaves & vines in your paintings.

The next lesson will be on one of the “Four Gentlemen,” Plum Blossom Trees.

Please be sure to ask any questions in the comments section!

With kindest wishes,
