A part of an interview with Taiwanese artists Liu Mu Lin for my new book "Masters of Watercolor. All About Plein Air"
Have you always been painting with watercolor?
Yes,most of the time. Sometimes I also do oil painting, pencil drawing, pastel and Chinese ink wash painting.
What was your first experience of sketching outdoors?
At the student age I always went outdoors with friends using pencil, charoal pencil, color pencil and watercolor for plein air sketch. I practiced hard in the basic to build up good foundation. Now I can finish a 540x788mm watercolor painting outdoor easily.
Do you work more in studio or outdoors?
Mostly indoor. I like to paint in large size but it is not easy to carry large size for outdoor.
Do you paint full size paintings outdoors?
Depends on the subject. Small size for buildings, large size for landscape.
What colors do you use for your plein air palette?
11 colors by Winsor and Newton: Sepia, ultramarine, lamp black, emerald, Light red, cadmiumred pale hue, permanent rose, scarlet lake, Juane brilliant light, Chinese white, leaf green And one Holbein W304 horizon blue.
