‘Le Chien Qui est Coloré’

I enjoy creating these live painting demos on Instagram because:
- It’s fun to answer questions from my awesome followers, shout out to friends, and share my unique melting pot of music.

I had the most thrills when experimenting with the Brooklyn sunset and skyline; it’s to represent that time moves much faster than you’d like or hope.

Please don’t forget to comment/like! I will also be posting the process videos including the embellishment and varnishing portions. And if you wish to receive more speedy updates please follow me on Instagram @xi_wen_c . Blessed be your weekend!
