For those of us who have a hard time committing, magic paper is perfect. If you make a messy stroke, it'll disappear soon afterwards, unlike paper and ink, which is permanent. PLUS you don't have to get out a new sheet of paper or wash the ink out of your brush every time you want to practice! Every artist should have a sheet of magic paper. But that's just my opinion. How many of you already have magic paper? How many of you wish you did? #brushpainting #painting #chinesebrushpainting #sumie #asianart #artstagram #worldofartists #artshelp #waterblog #art_spotlight #arts_gallery #sharingart #instapainting #inspiration #watercolor #watercolour #waterblog #watercolorpainting #artdiscover #artwhisper #orientalartsupply #magicpaper #recycle

"Peonies and Grey Starlings" by Shu Chi Chang. I love the colors that Shu Chi Chang uses. They're always so delicate and refreshing! Do you prefer using vibrant or subtle tones when you paint? #brushpainting #painting #chinesebrushpainting #sumie #asianart #artstagram #worldofartists #artshelp #art_spotlight #arts_gallery #sharingart #instapainting #inspiration #watercolor #watercolour #waterblog #watercolorpainting #artdiscover #artwhisper #orientalartsupply #peonies #peonypainting #watercolorpeony #greystarling #birdpainting #watercolorbird

"Loquats" by Chao Shao-An. I spy three cozy little birds - can you find them? http://ow.ly/TiVe50C08Md #orientalartsupply #oas #chaoshaoan #chinesebrushpainting #brushpainting #asianart #chineseart #landscapepainting #loquats

"Joy 1" by Ning Yeh. It's always a good day for an orchid painting! It's so relaxing to paint the orchid leaves on our Magic Paper, over and over. #chinesebrushpainting #ningyeh #oas #orientalartsupply #watercolorflowers #sumie #chineseart #chineseartist #orchidflowers

This summer I tried growing corn. I got one good ear but that was about it. Perhaps I'd have better luck painting! "Corn" from Chao Shao-An's book "Paintings" http://ow.ly/VZs550C07Nf #orientalartsupply #chinesebrushpainting #sumie #brushpainting #watercolorflowers #plantart

"Early Autumn" from the book "Paintings by Chao Shao-An." It's beginning to feel like fall here in Huntington Beach! By that, we mean that the weather is no longer in the 80s. #orientalartsupply #orientalart #sumie #brushpainting #chaoshaoan #watercolorbird #birdpainting

"Blue Bonnet" by Ning Yeh. This flower is named after the pioneer women who wore bonnets to protect themselves from the sun. #ningyeh #orientalartsupply #oas #orientalart #sumie #chinesebrushpainting #brushpainting #watercolorflowers #watercolorflorals #flowerpainting

I remember getting 25 cents worth of fish food at the amusement park and watching the fish come eat it. Fun times! "Carp" from the book "Paintings by Chao Shao-An." #orientalartsupply #orientalart #sumie #brushpainting #fishpainting #watercolorfish #fishart #carp

I love the soft lighting just before sunset! What's your favorite time of day? "Before Sunset" by Chao Shao-An from his book "Paintings by Chao Shao-An" available on the OAS website. #chinesebrushpainting #orientalartsupply #falllandscape #watercolorlandscape #happyautumn

It's. So. Cute. Painting by Ning Yeh from 2005.

"Iris" by Ning Yeh from 2016. Sometimes the simple paintings are the best paintings.
