Translating Sumi-e/Chinese brush painting onto another medium

As a multi-media painter, I enjoy the privilege of being able to switch to different media and sometimes even borrow one and apply it to another. 

Sumi-e or Chinese brush painting techniques now come so naturally to me that they surface onto my canvas as I'm painting with acrylics, oils, gouache, etc.

From top to bottom: Lotus in oil, Sunflowers in watercolor on watercolor paper, Lotus in gouache on yupo, and Bamboos in acrylics on canvas.  Also see blogs:  "I love bamboos", "Spring is here" and "The Four Seasons".
