Thank you for the precious time spending together with Lyn and Karen at A-Lab. Second workshop today. I really enjoyed to see your progress and you teach me as much as I teach you both. Perfection through imperfection in Chinese Ink Painting. One of the authentic character of Chinese Ink Painting is that painting may contain small imperfection.
Maybe sometimes an ending of a brushstroke or the line is too long or thin, such imperfection shows the individual style, and add more charm to the authenticity of the painting. .

Life is beautiful when we can start the week by celebrating the result of last week and I want to thank you for your wonderful support and I want to make sure that I will keep on going. And I will get more training on my skills and try to get to a certain level. I will start my other project drawing this week. I am so happy that I met amazing creative friends via different events and communities. Let’s keep on motivating ourselves, keep on believing in ourselves, try to remodel our plans and actions towards our dream life and dream career. We continue to surprise ourselves through our own persistent and determination. I met a friend today while I was in the town. He told me he saw how I grow as an artist. I never thought I will pick up my brushes again as some of you may know that I am into flower consulting business. I am a business consultant for the day and an artist and weekend for the night. I like to meet people, and I love to make patterns and it gives me the strength to explore the world of creativity.
We all have a wildest dream. My dream: 1) have commission work published by Flow Magazine, Uppercase, Frankie or Breath Magazine. 2) I have own home decor, stationery and fashion line debut at Anthropologie shop across UK. 3) I would love to work hard to make a book dedicate to the people who live in the city. 4) I want to write and illustrate my first 40 years. It is about people I met in my life, places that I have been, stories that I have been told and things that I have done. That’s pretty much a lot to achieve. I take each step as my learning curve. Thank you all for giving me the space to grow and check in on me when I feel overwhelmed or less-confidence. Wish you all a lovely week ahead. .

Day 12 It’s a new week, a new start. I will teach at my studio again tonight Mindfulness in your daily life with Chinese Ink Painting. I Will travel to Paris for @maisonetobjet to visit the show with @johnwinckel and we were planning to find some interesting suppliers to produce my designs. And this week Saturday I will be back to finish my shirt sewing project. And this Sunday I need to finish my dummy book for my story. I will attend @scbwi winter conference in New York in Feb. There are a lot to finish before I leave. So looking foward to learn more about the Children’s Book Illustration. Here is a little sketch for my story about garden scène. .

Day 11 of 365 days challenge project. I am working on a private project. It is about a sweet bear who wants to bring happiness to the people live in the city. Why everyone is so much in hurry, they walk fast, sometimes short-tempered, and they smile too little. They are always dress in black and grey or dark blue clothes, walking like running. They race with the time. And they seldom smiled. Can this bear change everything? Can she bring the happiness to people who live in the city? How, what and in which way. I started writing this story in July last year when I did my summer school @angliaruskin, I finished writing my story and managed to make a dummy book. I always think what is the best way to bring the character? I think I need to trust my instinct. Just concentrate on what I have passion about. I love to draw bear. It make sense. Therefore in the coming weeks, you will see my bear development and hopefully it will turn out a great one that the kid will fall in love with her. Happy Sunday to you all. I almost finished my Jean’s shirt. Will show you on Tuesday. .

How was your weekend? I have been really busy. I rearranged my home studio, I moved 500 kilos heavy big table from my living room to my studio ( it made out of the wood from old ship boat in Hong Kong), it has some Chinese memory for me when I paint my artwork. I was working non-stop on Thursday with my character drawing. Fell in love with my character. I booked my trip to Paris for a famous lifestyle, home decor and design show in Europe. I will leave this Wednesday and be there only for two days in Paris. Here is my day 10 drawing for my garden story. More to come.

Good morning, happy Monday to you all. How lovely to start a week with a new set of colors. Here is what left over dishes on my floor from previous weeks. I am not lazy to clean. Sometimes I just like the color mix I did, and I can keep on using it. These are Chinese Paint. I am going to teach Chinese Ink Painting class on every Monday evening at @alab_ams. And it is a bundle of 10 classes, hope to see you there. Everyone starts ground zero, take your passion and energy and enthusiasm with you. Here is all set for you.
Drawing with a soul is just a painting, but draw with your heart and mindfulness is a masterpieces in my world as well as other see it. Practice Chinese language, learning Chinese culture and philosophy in one. I am humble to thank everyone who is going to be there for the coming 10 weeks and we will practice more and wish at the end of 10 weeks, you start to love the color, the culture and want to practice Chinese painting everyday. And we will going to make it fun, interesting and a memorable experience for us all. Preparing the mind to be part of the drawing first. .
