葉永烜在 1987 年偶然開始繪畫，那時他在哥廷根的一家店買了一些顏色蠟，開始進行實驗。從那時起，他自學油畫，使用調色刀並以覺得值得記住的地方或事物的照片作為參考。例如，他經常以家人作為（無償）模特來繪畫。葉永烜認為色彩搭配（雖然非常難以達成）是繪畫中的一個基本元素。他也嘗試用水墨在宣紙上做抽象畫，僅僅因為他的書法寫得不好。
Wing Ip started painting by chance in 1987 when he got some color wax in a shop in Goettingen to experiment. Since then he self-taught himself to do oil painting by using a palette knife with photographs from places or things that he found memorable. For example, he painted a lot with his family members as (unpaid) models. Wing Ip thinks color combination - though very difficult to achieve - is an essential element in painting. He is also attempting to do abstract painting by using ink on rice paper simply because his calligraphy is very poor.
