I loved Yao's emphasis on experimenting with how the brushes move, the flow of the brush to produce different strokes/effects, and her emphasis to not focus on a finished product. Sometimes my brush seemed to put a lot more paint onto the paper than the model and I wondered if Yao sometimes took some water off her brush without verbalizing that. I learned a lot about the saturation of colors and how many times you can lighten the color just by dipping the brush into the water.

I appreciate Yao's teaching method in that she is casual and allows the student to feel relaxed and free to experiment.

I learned so much about watercolour. This is very well taught, and this has opened a whole new world of art for me. Thank you so much for teaching us. I'm having so much fun using your techniques.
