Why is the UK putting art back at the core of its national curriculum? Because in the age of AI, when computation, logic, and data can be replaced by machines, creativity and human touch remain the most valuable qualities. Those who can still bring creativity to their work with their hands will hold the highest value in this world.
I’m Lo Chan Peng. With these hands, I’ve built a career in the arts that has been recognized by the U.S. federal government as demonstrating “Extraordinary Ability” (EB-1A). My works have been permanently collected by the Hoki Museum in Japan, ESMoA in the United States, and a historic institution in Italy. Here’s the biggest regret I have as a teacher: students put in great effort when drawing, yet their portraits remain like inflatable dolls—the skin is smooth, but the figure is hollow; the features are precise, but they seem “pasted on” to the surface. My Da Vinci Training Method teaches people how to truly see things, just as the master did: to understand anatomy like a doctor, to structure things like an architect, and to turn complex anatomical details into something intuitive through my unique memory-based approach. Mandarin audio with English subtitles.
Fully English-subtitled – and not machine-generated. Each lesson is professionally translated, with artistic terminology like anatomy, structure, value, and technique being handled accurately. The subtitles are reviewed line by line to ensure the text reads naturally in English. Check the quality of the subtitles before enrolling:

Lo Chan Peng’s Da Vinci Training Method focuses on facial structure, skull anatomy, muscle groups, and the ability to see beyond the surface details of a portrait. It’s designed for those who want to understand why a portrait appears “lifelike,” rather than merely being a copy of the original.
Within the Lo Chan Peng Painting System, this course falls under the more advanced discipline of “structural seeing” – the ability to interpret a face as an arrangement of underlying forces, rather than merely visible features.

Three classical techniques separate painters who merely copy an effect from painters who truly command it: glazing, layered painting, and alla prima. Most people only learn what they look like, then apply them mechanically — and the picture stays flat. None of them is a surface trick; each carries its own rhythm, its own material logic, and its own way of making decisions.
Lo Chan Peng — an internationally exhibiting artist, recognized by the U.S. federal government as having "Extraordinary Ability" (EB-1A), with work collected by museums in Japan, the United States, and Italy — guides you across the bridge from material knowledge to pictorial strategy.
Three Major Traditional Oil Painting Techniques is a foundational oil painting course within the Lo Chan Peng Painting System. Through complete demonstrations, Lo Chan Peng shows how transparent glazing, layer-by-layer construction, and direct wet-into-wet painting each shape the final image. Students will understand how these methods affect value structure, opacity, luminosity, correction, surface control, pictorial depth, and the painter's relationship with time. The goal is not to mechanically copy classical technique, but to understand the principles deeply enough to use them freely in your own future work.
This course is suited to students who already have basic drawing or oil painting experience and want a clearer system for entering classical oil painting methods.
Course content includes:
- An overview of oil painting materials
- Basic working rules and studio workflow
- Glazing, Part 1
- Glazing, Part 2
- Layered Painting, Part 1
- Layered Painting, Part 2
- Alla Prima / Direct Painting
- Reference photos and Lo Chan Peng's oil paint pigment list
- A bonus monologue for students who feel discouraged or disheartened on the painting path
Continue the Study:
Once you understand the three traditional oil painting methods, technique can open into a more complete pictorial strategy. The Secrets of Lo Chan Peng extends into glazing, surface, skin, hair, and long-form painting judgment:

Basic Oil Painting Knowledge and Canvas Preparation is the material foundation of the Lo Chan Peng Painting System. It is designed for students who want to understand how canvas, ground, paint, and time shape the final image before moving into more advanced pictorial methods.
The course introduces oil painting materials, color theory, canvas preparation, water-based ground, oil ground, and the basic working rules that govern how oil paint behaves over time. Many problems that appear later in a painting begin much earlier: with the wrong surface, an unclear material choice, or a misunderstanding of how paint, absorbency, and layering interact.
This course gives students a more disciplined beginning. Instead of treating materials as accessories, it teaches them as the first structure of the painting itself.

This is a foundational portrait drawing course centered on understanding. Beginning with geometric forms, light and shadow, the skull, muscles and fat, facial features, hair, and the emotions and expressions of the figure, the course gradually builds a complete ability to draw portraits.
In Lo Chan Peng’s painting system, a portrait is not merely a combination of facial features. It is an integrated whole formed by structure, volume, expression, and psychological presence. This course will guide students in learning how to truly understand a face: how the bones support the form, how muscles and fat affect the surface, how light and shadow describe volume, and how emotion gives the figure a sense of life on the page.
This is not only a course in drawing technique, but a complete system for training the way we see. Now, with subtitles in English, 日本語, Español, Italiano, and ภาษาไทย, this course is officially open to more international students.
Introduction:
Drawing is the foundation of all visual arts.
Your creative medium may be digital painting, watercolor, oil painting, acrylic, colored pencil, or any other form. But if you want to create truly convincing work, you cannot separate yourself from the foundation of drawing. This is especially true for portraits, where the complexity of structure reveals an artist’s powers of observation, form-building ability, and visual judgment with absolute clarity.
Have you ever encountered these challenges in your creative process?
You want to understand facial proportions more accurately.
You want to draw the posture and presence of the figure more vividly.
You want to handle complex hair in a more natural way.
You want to capture a person’s emotion and expression.
You want your work to be more than a likeness — you want it to feel truly alive.
No matter what stage you are currently in, or what bottleneck you are facing, returning to drawing practice is always the key to elevating your creative level.
Follow internationally recognized contemporary realist artist Lo Chan Peng and rediscover the essence of portrait drawing.
Lo Chan Peng is an internationally recognized Taiwanese contemporary artist known for his realist portrait painting. His works are vivid and lifelike, creating a pure and profound visual atmosphere. He has a remarkable ability to capture the emotions and inner states of his subjects, giving his paintings a quietly immersive power. He is regarded as a highly acclaimed master of contemporary realist portrait painting.
Teacher Lo says:
Painting is a fascinating act. With only the simplest materials and one quiet afternoon, you can create a period of time in dialogue with yourself.
To complete a painting from nothing is an immersive experience, and it is also part of my daily life. To me, this is a beauty I cannot stop pursuing. I hope to share this process with you through this course.

The Importance of Oil Ground in Oil Painting — Free Preview
This free preview introduces the role of oil ground in oil painting and why surface preparation affects the final image.
It is a useful starting point for students who want to understand the material foundation behind Lo Chan Peng's painting process. Oil ground is not merely a technical preparation; it influences absorbency, surface response, layering, color behavior, and the long-term stability of the painting.
Within the Lo Chan Peng Painting System, this preview opens the material side of the practice: the understanding that a painting begins before the first visible image appears.
Continue the Study:
Oil ground is part of a larger material system: surface, absorbency, layering, and the way paint behaves over time. Continue with Basic Oil Painting Knowledge and Canvas Preparation, then Three Major Traditional Oil Painting Techniques to connect material preparation with painting methods.

How I Draw Hair -Free Preview
This free preview offers a direct look at how Lo Chan Peng approaches hair in figurative drawing and painting.
Hair is not only a collection of strands. It depends on structure, direction, rhythm, volume, edge, weight, and the relationship between the head and the surrounding space. Use this preview to observe the pace of instruction, the level of detail, and the way form, rhythm, and texture are considered during the working process.
Within the Lo Chan Peng Painting System, this preview functions as a small but revealing entry point: it shows how a detail becomes meaningful only when it belongs to a larger structure.

Hair is not only detail; it depends on structure, volume, edge, and the larger painting surface. Continue with Osamu Dazai Portrait for portrait structure, or The Secrets of Lo Chan Peng for advanced oil painting surface and hair strategy.

This bundle combines Realistic Portrait Drawing and Osamu Dazai Portrait into a structural learning path — from the fundamentals of portrait drawing to the memory of bone, muscle, and surface.
Within the Lo Chan Peng Painting System, this bundle can be understood as a portrait-drawing learning path: moving from foundational observation into the deeper structure beneath the visible face.
Realistic Portrait Drawing — Introduction
Drawing is the foundation of all visual art.
Your medium might be digital painting, watercolor, oil, acrylic, colored pencil, and so on — but creating good work is inseparable from the foundation of drawing. The human portrait especially, with its complex structure, lays bare a creator's true command of drawing.
In your own practice, have you ever found yourself wanting to...
Truly master the proportions of the facial features
Render poses and expressions so they come alive
Handle even complex hair so it looks natural
Capture a person's emotion and expression
Whatever your current stage or sticking point, returning to drawing practice is the key to raising the level of your work.
Grasp the essence of portrait painting alongside an internationally recognized contemporary realist artist.
Lo Chan Peng is an internationally acclaimed contemporary Taiwanese artist, known for realist portrait painting. His work is lifelike and vivid, creating a pure and profound atmosphere. He is also exceptional at capturing a subject's emotions and inner state, and his work holds an immersive magic that draws the viewer in — making him a highly acclaimed master of realist portrait painting in contemporary art.

A word from Lo Chan Peng:
Painting is a fascinating act. With only the simplest materials and a single afternoon, you can create a stretch of time in dialogue with yourself. To complete a painting from nothing is an immersive experience — and it is my everyday life. To me it is a beauty I cannot stop pursuing, and one I hope to share with you through this course.

From Realistic Portraits to Original Techniques (with English subtitles) Difficulty: ▮▮▮▮▮▮ 5300TWD/169USD
This is the advanced class — a complete, uncut portrait in oil across sixteen working sessions and over 700 minutes, from a blank canvas to the finished half-length painting Sunlight Collapsed.
You watch every decision in real working time: high-level glazing, structural hatching, the net technique, the tapping technique, my own way of painting hair strand by strand, capillaries embedded into the skin to build a living surface, and the original techniques I developed to break realism open into something personal. In 2024 my painting earned the U.S. “Extraordinary Ability” green card (EB-1A) — a career built entirely through the act of painting.

Osamu Dazai Portrait: https://lochanpeng.com/course/16
From Realistic Portraits to Original Techniques is an advanced oil painting course that follows a full portrait painting process across 16 working sessions. The course moves from initial color and lace construction into layered skin, hatching, embedded color, splatter, hair, hands, lips, capillaries, surface disruption, and final refinement.

The Secrets of Lo Chan Peng: Advanced Oil Painting Strategy and Special Techniques (with English subtitles) Difficulty: ▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▯▯▯ $169USD
Most painters lose enormous time to wasted effort — not for lack of talent, but because they don't understand how oil paint actually behaves. They spend their hours "fixing" problems left by earlier steps instead of truly painting, until correction turns to frustration and they abandon oil altogether.
The belief that "oil covers everything, so mistakes don't matter" is false. Oil keeps growing more transparent over time, until its chemistry stabilizes. I turn that very transparency into power — through glazing, and through my own fishnet method, interlacing warm and cool to build tone of unusual richness and depth. All of it is shown, in full, in this course.
I am Lo Chan Peng, an artist exhibiting internationally, with a career recognized by the U.S. federal government as "Extraordinary Ability" (EB-1A) and work permanently collected by museums in Japan, the United States, and Italy.
The Secrets of Lo Chan Peng is the advanced center of the Lo Chan Peng Painting System. It is designed for serious painters, art students, atelier-trained artists, and professional creators who want to study how Lo Chan Peng builds an oil painting from overall strategy to final surface.
This is not a basic painting tutorial. It is a close study of pictorial decision-making: composition strategy, long-term painting judgment, glazing, layered color structure, hair rendering, skin texture, blood-vessel effects, surface rhythm, and Lo Chan Peng's original fishnet-like painting method.
The course reveals how a painting is not completed by isolated techniques alone, but by the coordination of structure, timing, material behavior, edge, texture, and accumulated visual decisions. For students who want to enter the core of Lo Chan Peng's oil painting method, this is the flagship course.
Mandarin Chinese audio with Chinese and English subtitles.
Fully English-subtitled — and not machine-generated. All 12 lessons (9+ hours) were professionally translated with the painting vocabulary handled correctly and reviewed line by line, so the teaching reads naturally in English. See the subtitle quality before you enrol — this is Episode 11 from the full 12-episode course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnwzSkVlcUk
Continue the Study: This course is the advanced center of the current English-ready oil painting path. Students who need stronger preparation should first study materials through Basic Oil Painting Knowledge and Canvas Preparation, traditional methods through Three Major Traditional Oil Painting Techniques, or portrait structure through Osamu Dazai Portrait.
