Book Signing

Lian signed the flower book for me with a beautiful moth orchid painting.  The flower book is his second book published by North Light, and is out of print.

Lian Zhen Demo Watercolor

Lian Zhen's 2013 Watercolor Workshop was held at the Rusch Historical Home.  Lian's demo of watercolor painting was nicely presented through a TV screen. 

Sun Flowers from the workshop

This is the beginning of my sun flower painting from a half day workshop that Lian taught at the SFAC on March 11, 2013.

Crab from the workshop

On the first day, we learned to paint crab with 3 primary colors.  Then the pouring techniques and detail painting.  We are to create different underwater objects: corals, fishes, and rocks.  This is my attempt, no fishes, couple corals and some rocks.

On March 8-10, 2013, Sacramento Fine Art Center's NCA sponsored Lian Zhen's watercolor workshop.  Here is Lian doing a demo with Chinese brush painting.  Rooster on Shuan paper.

During the 3-day workshop, Lian did many book signing - often with a small painting by request.  Here's one with a rooster.
