This isn't just a little bit amazing... this is a lot amazing... wow (oops, we're not supposed to say 'wow' are we... ;-)

I just read through your tutorial, and I'm quite impressed with how simple it seems. I'm just learning how to use watercolours myself, and I'm staggered to find that the results can actually be dark and vivid. *laugh* What can I say...I'm a total newb. Lovely work. Si Wang Mu and the peach blossoms really stand out from all that greenery.

This is really impressive, i just feel like i'm in this garden, hiding in the foliage and looking at this beautiful lady (is there a peeping tom in me?!)it really looks like you're catching something real...and enchanting.

Absolutly stunning! When I first saw this picture I stared until my eyes became dry. Your art in amazing and breathtaking. I don't know if you have considered selling some of it but I believe you should start. I love how you always add the legend to the painting, it gives it even more personality. The detail of the trees is magnificent and the way the blossoms and the dress stand out balance it.

It all looks so real and has some kind of .. chinese look to it. i like the trees and person of course (i went on your tutorial on how to draw trees after a very specific google search, so it wouldn't come up with psp and photoshop things) but i also like how the stairs go into the forest and it looks like you can just walk there. i'd been thinking about trying to somehow mask off the place where the person is to make the background without worrying about painting the person green by mistake or something. Maybe i should invest in some masking fluid XD
