Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Chinese brush painting with Henry's latest YouTube video, offering a unique glimpse into the Winter 2024 class. This special feature highlights two exceptional eagle demonstrations, each blending traditional techniques with personal storytelling and modern artistic materials.

1) Bald Eagle with Pine: Dive into the elegance of Chinese brush painting as Henry adopts Professor Shuchi Chang's innovative approach, incorporating opaque white paints into the classic medium. Witness the majestic bald eagle, rendered alongside a pine, in a composition that breathes new life into traditional Chinese brush painting (CBP). Utilizing Dr. Martin's White, though noting that any gouache will achieve similar results, this demonstration is a testament to the harmonious blend of contemporary and time-honored methods.

2) Red-tail Hawk Quick Demo: Experience the poignant connection between nature and artistry in a heartfelt demonstration inspired by a personal encounter with a red-tailed hawk. Drawing inspiration from Qi Baishi's iconic eagle paintings, Henry crafts a piece that transcends mere depiction, serving as a conduit for personal reflection and the essence of artistic expression. This quick demo not only showcases the versatile beauty of Chinese brush painting but also celebrates the profound moments of inspiration drawn from the natural world.

These demonstrations are just a taste of the full recording, which delves deeper into the art of avian representation, exploring anatomy, technique, and the subtle nuances that make each bird a fascinating subject for artists. Whether you're an aspiring painter or a seasoned artist, these glimpses into the CBP world offer inspiration and insight into the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with the vibrancy of contemporary art materials.
