I did another big painting recently, 36"x 48". It's not easy to get a good photo for a big painting with a lot of details. Does anybody have any experience in taking such photos?

If you are near the SF South bay area and interested in joining me, send me an email at fongweiliu@gmail.com, I will let you know when I have a spot available. 

This is a 12"x 16"study I did, I tried to capture the moment when the girl was looking at the bar, please let me know if you are interested in the painting.

Spring Series 6 - 09 - 2014

Spring Series 5-23-2014

 As I mentioned in the previous post, I am working on some big paintings. Here is a finished one. I find that my photos are always unable to show the big painting well, so I added a couple details of the painting, hope this will help. Let me know if you are interested in the painting.

 Animals are always an interesting subject for me to paint. I like the brush strokes applied on the dog, the spring green shows on her body.

The girl is beautiful, I tried to capture the moment when she put her foot in the water, I can feel her happiness even when her face is in the shadow.

Figure Study 002

Our painting group is running, here is the second painting I did. It is challenging to paint the live model on a big canvas (24"x 30"), but I think I will get use to it. 

Please email me if you are interested in my figure study.

Summer in Tahoe 3

Figure study 001

I feel that over the years I have not spent enough time on my own paintings because of my schedule, and I know that some of my friends and students are very interested in painting with me. I have thought about this for a while and decided to create a small painting group with them since last month.

The group is running well so far, we found a wonderful studio from one of our members, and we have good model for two days every week, everyone feels good so far... I am happy that I can get at least two days to focus on my paintings every week! :)

Here is the first painting I did, and I believe I will be creating more beautiful paintings with the group.

Head study - Mandy

Head Study - Catherine

Painted this girl with a few artists in my studio last Saturday. It's difficult for me to get time to do an open studio like this, but I think I should do more.  

Please email me if you are interested in this head study.

Head Study - 2013 - 07

A head study I did a couple weeks ago. I found the cool reflect light from the background was pretty interesting.

Figure - 2013 - 01

This is a figure study I did a week ago, it was a three day pose.
The warm light around her head and arms and natural light from the window on her leg and body created dramatic colors for the skin tone. I like it! Please email me if you are interested in this painting.

Small Painting - Lost in Thought

Kids started summer break, so I didn't paint much last month. 

Here is a small painting I did, my daughter titled it "Lost in Thought".
