Newsletter 2010

Finally my book on painting animals came out in August 2009. I thank you for your constructive feed backs. Since Page One in Singapore published their own version, many Asian readers also wrote to me. I hope more of you will not hesitate to write to tell me what you think of the book.

After spending most of my time trying to get well in the past two years, I was able to indulge more time in 2009 to paint. Responding to many readers expressing that they found it difficult to master the techniques of washes on absorbent paper, I spent the past few months refining the techniques. The results are expressed in my new artworks of landscapes and bird paintings. I have uploaded some of them in my web site. Do have a look. This coming term, many of my pupils will learn to handle washes in the expressive and effective way.

I am enclosing one of the oldest form of the Chinese character "tiger". Many believe that Chinese characters evolved from picture. It does look true in this writing. May be you can write the word and send it to your friend to celebrate the year of the Tiger. Tiger is a symbol of strength. I wish all of you to have the strength to journey through 2010.

I was informed that my book CHINESE CALLIGRAPHY MADE EASY is now out of stock in UK. You can still get one from US. If you have not have a copy yet, you can still get one from me. I have about 10 copies. I have uploaded many new calligraphy artworks in my website if you have not notice yet. I have also upload many small papercutting, knotting and bead jewellery artworks not long ago.

I noticed that my book LOVE THOSE BEADS is very in demand. Actually anyone who wants a copy can contact me. I still have a few new copies of the out of print edition. However you have to be quick because I don't think they will stay with me for very long. I only charge £10 each.

Enjoy my web site, and, the summer.

I have been teaching my pupils how to paint flowers from life in the summer term. I promised amny of you that I would upload some of the demonstrations during the course for you to have a look. They are ready now. Go to brush painging then flowers and you can have a good look of them. I hope you will enjoy the artworks. Why don't you try painting some while the summer flowers are still going well.
