CHINESE WATERCOLOR

Chinese Watercolor (shuimo 水墨 / guohua 国画) series exploring nature scenes through luminous, transparent washes on rice paper.

I began creating Chinese Watercolor Art, aka shuimo 水墨 /shway-mor/ water-ink and guohua 国画 /gwor-hwaa/in 2020. In this collection, I used watercolor techniques to draw various nature scenes. Chinese watercolors are natural pigments bound with glue. The main focus is its luminosity and transparency.

Mainly there are two techniques;

① The filling-in technique is strongly related to calligraphy.

② The boneless technique combined with the splashing-ink technique. Color usage is the foremost performer on rice paper. There is no outlines or shaping lines in ink; instead, color is used. This method is applied mainly in flower painting but can also be used in landscape painting.
