Remarkable, Vivid watercolor painting

When I first saw Mr. Guan Weixing’s watercolor painting I was captured by the vivid watercolour figures he drew. Like they got frozen live by Mr. Guan’s bright colours and exquisite strokes, and locked onto his watercolour paper.

當我第一次看到關偉興先生的水彩畫時，我就被他所畫的栩栩如生的人物所吸引。 他們像被關先生的瀟洒筆觸和鮮明的色彩，活生生地被封印在水彩紙上。

Mr Guan Wei Xing has participated in some major exhibitions domestically and internationally. His vivid watercolours are published and collected. He has exhibited in more than ten countries and regions such as the United States, Japan and France. His painting “Chu Xue” won the Gold Medal of the American Watercolour Exhibition, and another painting “Friends” won the Excellent Works Award of the 126th International Watercolour Exhibition, held in the United States. He has created more than 80 watercolour illustrations for the famous Taiwanese writer Lin Haiyin’s novel “Old Things in the South”. It was published in three volumes in hardcover and published in the world. He also won the International Illustration Award for three consecutive years at 92, 93 and 94.

He was also a tutor of Flora.
