HUIHAN LIU: Expressive Figure Painting [Learn New Skills from a Master, Art Improvement, Art Instruction, Art Education, Become a Better Artist. Video Length: 10+ Hours [DVD]…

DO YOU LONG TO BE A “PAINTERLY” PAINTER? Does that inspire you to do the same in your work? Would you like to capture the elusive qualities that make your painting more than just a copy of the scene at hand? Do you wish you could infuse the whole thing with an energy that takes on a life of its own? An energy that engages the viewer at first sight?Huihan Liu has spent his life doing exactly that. He is very tuned in to the emotion of every piece he paints. He has stated that he wants to provide a bridge between Chinese culture and the U.S., which he loves. He travels extensively, often back to China, to Tibet specifically, but mainly to the Southwest and Western U.S. His paintings, with culturally specific detail, show a deep appreciation for the landscape and the people of both places. And he wants to show gratitude to the people who supported him in his early days in China.¹ But how can YOU achieve these “painterly” goals?There’s only one way ... find someone to teach them to you. Really, no one is going to knock on your door and offer what you need out of the blue. If you want to improve your painting in a certain direction, then you have to seek it out and go after it on your own. We strive to make that easy for you. You do not have to go on a worldwide quest to find master artists who will guide your path. You don’t need a lot of money to add to your skill set while you diligently work in your home studio. You are already set up for success. You just need to latch on to the teacher who will provide what you need.
