🌟 Bring My Watercolor Workshop to Your City! 🎨
Hello Friends,
In the coming years, I would love to travel—across the U.S. and abroad—to teach in-person watercolor workshops. If you know of a local art association or community center that may enjoy hosting, I would be so grateful if you could connect me with them.
💙 As a thank-you: if your introduction leads to a workshop, I’ll offer you a private one-on-one watercolor lesson (1 hour) when I visit your city for the workshop.
Learn more about my workshop concept here:

Let’s continue sharing the joy of watercolor and inspiring communities together!
With gratitude,
Yong

I’m excited to share that my recent watercolor painting, “An Artist I Met in Italy” has been juried into the National Watercolor Society Member Exhibition! A big thank you to Mario Robinson, the judge and juror of the 2025 Member Exhibition. I truly appreciate this honor! View the video on how I created this painting - https://youtu.be/A4U6zBQSv6Q
