Summer Time. June is an exciting month and we have been hard at work filming and producing our long awaited instructional painting DVD “Painting Hawaii with Patrick Ching”, along with the audio CD “Listen While Painting ”and E book “Painting Nature”. Click here for more info on how you can reserve advanced copies at a great discount. If you or someone you know is serous about becoming a good painter really quickly, I highly recommend this important limited time offer. I hope you enjoy my new release “Red Tails over Moku‘ae‘ae” featuring the Koa‘e ‘ula (Red tailed Tropicbirds) in courtship flight before Moku‘ae‘ae island off of Kilauea Point, Kauai. Click here to own the original or reproduction.
Take in the colors of Summer, enjoy the long days and do lots of stuff! Look at the world closer than most humans do. Enjoy discovering the anatomy of nature. It helps you understand the world and become a better artist. FEATURED ARTICLES Patrick Ching’s Artistic Insight

Brush Stroke Advice [Art Tip] - (back to top)
Most brush strokes are best done with the flat area or “palm of the brush. Get soft edges for clouds etc. by “petting” with the palm of the brush. Use the sharp “fingernails” only when necessary to achieve sharp edges.
Tilting the back of the handle down when applying paint will leave more paint on the canvas and give a more solid covering of paint. While doing this, think in your mind... “I’m leaving paint on the canvas”. A right angle straight up and down stroke will scrape paint away showing the canvas through the paint.

My favorite brushes are now in stock. These are the actual brand of brushes that I use in my best oil paintings. And what a coincidence, they all have my signature on them. Get the set of six for $65

Varnish and Hake Brush
I highly recommend varnishing your Genesis paintings using the Genesis Air Dry Varnish applied with a soft hake brush. I apply three coats to my paintings giving them ample time to dry in between coats and changing the direction of my final strokes before letting each coat dry. Price $20

Inspiration: Directly off the Kilauea Point lighthouse is a tiny islet called Moku‘ae‘ae (literally: fragment frothing in the rising tide). When the waves come from a certain direction a blowhole occurs off its right point. During the Spring and Summer months, red tailed tropicbirds called Koa‘e ‘Ula gather and fly in courtship patterns around Kilauea Point. They squawk happily and appear to fly in backward circles. Artist Patrick Ching lived and worked at Kilauea point and loves the sound and sights of tropicbirds in courtship flight at mid-day.
