Paintings by Nan Xu

New York is a magical place, I met a lot of artists here and I got inspired by them. Also, the museums in New York always there to give me numerous resource to learn. I am interested in the old master style of painting. I try to figure out their techniques. I find it hard to make a consistent process of painting like the old masters do.
