Meet Your Instructor, Chien Chung-Wei(AWS, D.F.)

Chien is the first artist in Taiwan to become a Signature Member of the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. He has also achieved the prestigious position of Dolphin Fellow with the AWS.

He’s the author of the bestselling books “The Intrigue of Form” and “Learning Watercolor from Demonstrations.”

Artists and collectors say the watercolor works of Chien appear to embrace the spirit and character of Western watercolor masters over the last two centuries.

His works are delicate and classic, reminiscent of the works of William Henry Hunt and Myles Birket Foster.

You can see the spirits of such great watercolor masters as Thomas Girtin, John Sell Cotman, J.M.W. Turner, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, and Edward Seago in his works.

He has also broken the boundary between watercolors and oil paints. He created a series of works using watercolors and gouache that look like Romantic oil paintings of the 19th century.

Those works totally changed the conventional impression of watercolors.

His colors are expressive and classic, laid down with masterful brushstrokes that endow every character with a rich fullness.

He creates the beauty and intrigue of form even with ordinary subjects — and that’s the enchantment of his watercolors.

Chein Chung Wei impressive

A great video that taught me much more than I Knew. Maybe even more if I could speak mandarin but the voice over was bearable.

Awesome

I really enjoyed this video and was immediately able to put his techniques to use in my own paintings, with good results. While this video is more of a masterclass for competent painters, there is plenty that people at any stage of their painting journey can use. And it's simply very inspiring to watch Chien Chung Wei work his magic. The translation is well done, as is the voiceover, which sounds natural and professional.
