May14,2016 workshop

My first plein air painted at the May14, 2015 workshop with our teacher Richard and John. It is also my first work finished outdoor. Not perfect but encourage me to paint more on site. Thanks to Richard and John. I had a fun and wonderful experience with them and other interesting students. And I learnt a lot.

Comment by Pauline Le Merle on November 10, 2016 at 6:58: Love all your confident brush strokes Ningning. Richard is a fantastic teacher, i have experienced 2 of his workshops and like you learnt so much and benefited from working with all the other students. Super painting :-}}

Comment by Ningning Li on July 2, 2016 at 8:34: Dear Mary, Thank you so much. In fact, my painting is not so dramatic. I took the photo in the room with the light on, The light made it dramatic. Thank you again for your encouraging comments.

Comment by Mary Jo Ellis on July 2, 2016 at 1:40: Wow! When I met you at the workshop I had no idea you had come that far. This is a LOVELY painting; I especially like the blues in your water and your energetic brush work. Great job, Ningning!

Comment by Ningning Li on June 17, 2016 at 6:49: Mireille, it is very nice of you taking time to comment on my work. Sorry that I did not reply sooner. Yes, you are so right paint plein air is very helpful for everything a painter should be able to handle. Good luck to your painting experiences.

Comment by Mireille Fournier on June 10, 2016 at 16:45: I think you did a very nice job :) Especially I can see you really tried to apply the big bold brush strokes John and Richard do. Its very hard when you are not used to that style of painting and I applaud you went for it!

Comment by Ningning Li on May 29, 2016 at 16:13: Many thanks, Glenys.

Comment by Glenys Jones on May 29, 2016 at 16:01: Wow, this is stunning Ningning, beautiful composition and I love the blocks of dark water in the foreground, makes it very dramatic, it all harmonises beautifully. It's a winner.

Comment by Ningning Li on May 28, 2016 at 9:51: Micheal, Many thanks for your encouragement. It is very nice of you.

Yes, the painting is very exciting. I was very excited at that moment. As I have never painted something and finish it in such a dramatic nature, I was sensetionally overwelmed.

Now, back to Peru, everything is cool down. I am not sure that I can do another exciting one. People say that if we can repeat the same good things in different paintings( like you can do it in your so many masterpieces)that means we mastered the tecnic. Otherwise, just by chance. I think that was by chance, not very stable and sure.

Michael, back to Lima, up to now, I only painted 2 hours. So many other things waiting for me to do... But I will try my best to finish that horse and dancer earlier.

I hope that your shoulder is better so that you can enjoy painting more and show them here. Love to look at them.
