I attached a picture of the painting you helped me create last weekend. I learned a lot and am really pleased with how the work turned out. Looking forward to painting more.

My sister in law and myself took Patrick's 4 hour art class on beautiful Kauai this past summer. I had never painted before but my sister in law had been painting her whole life. Patrick's compassion, patience and humor helped me to paint my first painting. My sister in law learned some new things which she is using in her art. Patrick is an amazing teacher. Thank you Patrick! Aloha, Arlee Roman

Thank you so much for the class you gave at my home last week. It was such a delight to have you here, not to mention a great honor! I hope we can do it again next year.

I so enjoyed the workshop I took from you in June in Kauai. Thank you for your wonderful instruction as you guided me through painting the Kilauea Lighthouse from the angle we see it from my cousins' home on the north shore. Thank you also for coming to Karen's home to deliver the painting after you put the protective finish on it. That was a real treat for us...
I have told my family and friends that the time spent with you, under your tutoring, was certainly the highlight of this last trip to Kauai for me. It was such an honor to be in the workshop of such a master artist! Thank you.
Sincerely,
Barbara Dotson

I first met Patrick in 1997, at his store, Naturally Hawaiian. I have almost every piece of literature Patrick Ching has authored,illustrated. I have used them in my literature, science, social studies and Hawaiian studies classes. They are factual, instructional,sensitive to Hawaii's frail creatures and environment, appealing to children both in color and story content. Patrick Ching's work expresses and shares his knowledge and personal experience with the creatures and environment.
Many of my fourth grade students of Waimanalo Elementary and Intermediate School, had the privilege of art classes with Mr. Ching, on campus. Mr. Ching is not only a great artist and appealing author, but is gifted with teaching skills, as he relates well to children, keeps their attention and builds everyone's self-esteem in drawing. An' I can draw attitude!'
I own many of Patrick's works, even though in affordable print sizes. I love the beauty, peace, serenity, detail of his works. Some paintings take me to places I have not physically visited,but feel as though I have thru his work. Many of his drawings/paintings introduce me to creatures I have not experienced outside of textbooks, but he paints them in their habitat, in such a remarkably sensitive way that makes them 'come to life.' The combined efforts of Patick and his mom, in the work,Master's of the Heart is awesome and inspirational.
Lastly, Patrick Ching, has brought a sprit of kindness,caring, generosity and spiritual inspiration to both myself and my students, that we hope to spread to others and to nature.

Art Supplies/Tools:I have been painting all my life, yet meeting Patrick when I had a day off from a job I was working on in Oahu has inspired me to do more creative painting for fun in between the painting I do for clients. He has been generous with his time and tips on using the Genesis paints really minimizing the learning curve. When I got the package of his brushes, I dropped everything and started painting! The brushes are a pleasure to use and make me really feel confident when I start painting. Even some close friends have commented " I didn't know you did "REAL" art"! I wish I was painting now instead of in this meeting!~Mahalo for everything Patrick!

Hi Patrick: Would like to thank you for the private painting lesson on Friday. I picked up quite a few tips from you and will apply all I learned to future paintings. I am sure it will improve my painting technique greatly. You are an excellent instructor. Thank you so much for your patience. I look forward to more lessons in the future. Please keep me posted on future workshops...

Thank you so much for inviting me and my friends to the Patrick Ching event. His experience and knowledge about the North West Hawaiian Islands, (Papahanaumokuakea) was so enjoyable to listen to and his way of sharing his artistic insight that was inspired by different areas of the whole island chain by the sights and the creatures living there well, that was done with such humor and interest making the time just fly by!
Also, having all of us participate in drawing techniques, affording us to step into an artists shoes even for one evening; that was not only awe inspiring but, maybe it will in fan a spark of courage into a full blown flame in someone that maybe was just toying with the idea of becoming an artist. It's obvious that he does not feel threatened by the off chance that he does create that spark in someone whom someday may become another successful artist. To me that shows not only does he have a good heart, is truly a really good guy and a successful leader but, is a true professional in every sense of the word! Thanks so much for having him come to the center!
Love and Aloha

Wanted to thank you for so generously sharing your extensive training and talent. I had always wanted to paint, but never took the time because I figured it would take tons of classes to have a finished product. I loved the way you share your gift... allowing me to walk away with something I am proud of! I'm definitely telling everyone I know about your classes, art & generous spirit.
