When Taiwanese watercolor artist Chien Chung-Wei (AWS, D.F.) showed his masterpiece Listen to the Wind to the world, it attracted a lot of attention.
That’s probably because he used a technique most artists have never heard about.
But once you know this technique…
You can create magical dappled light effects in any painting, making it stand out more than ever — just like the painting below.
Chien uses what we call the “FairyLights” technique.
It involves using masking fluid as a means to paint more FREELY and spontaneously.
A brilliant and odd combination…
…where, with the protection of the masking fluid, you can freely splash and spatter and wash your paint onto the paper to create spontaneous color mingling and lively paint effects!
That’s the essence of his technique.
At the final stage, adding the finishing touch of “washing out” will result in the perfect combination to accurately express the “pearly lights of watercolor”!
That’s how Chien was able to create such an amazing effect in his masterpiece!
The ultimate takeaway you’ll get from Chien is this:
You’ll learn how to be MORE spontaneous, thanks to his brilliant use of masking fluid.
Masking fluid is NOT just for saving highlights.
Few people realize you can use it to make your paintings feel MORE expressive … MORE natural … and MORE impactful!
Simply put, this technique gives you a NEW way to approach watercolor painting, opening up doors for you to come up with interesting, eye-catching effects.
“I believe, after watching this video, you will be much more experienced with masking fluid.”
— Chien Chung-Wei
Now, this technique does a few other interesting things as well.
Before discovering the “FairyLights” technique, Chien noticed managing dark backgrounds proved difficult.
The risk of contaminating his delicate highlights was higher, making it tough for him to showcase the charm of pearly light.
This is why Chien’s “FairyLights” technique is so elegant…
…because it allows you to avoid the small highlights and easily brush out deep and majestic backgrounds.
Another issue is that whites created by your masking fluid may be too flat, rigid, and unnatural.
This technique not only maintains the stable light shapes of masking fluid…
…it also adds random, natural spattering, making the painting naturally vivid and reducing the stiffness of the masked shapes.
Plus, you can use this technique on almost any subject. It is especially appealing for dark backgrounds and bright details.
Which means you’ll increase the success rate of your watercolor paintings!
This video is a gem not to be missed.
Not only will you learn how to successfully capture the serene atmosphere of a forest scene…
…you’ll also learn how to paint a handsome deer and how it instantly adds an amazing sense of life, atmosphere, and mood in the painting.
There are a TON more lessons you’ll learn with Chien.
His expertise will no doubt fill the gaps in your watercolor painting knowledge, turning you into a far better painter in a short amount of time.
But before we reveal the rest, let’s get to know Chien a little better!
Chien Chung-Wei is the first artist in Taiwan to become a Signature member of the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society.
He’s also the author of the bestselling books The Intrigue of Form and Learning Watercolor from Demonstrations.
Artists and collectors say the watercolor works of Chien Chung-Wei appear to embrace the spirits and temperament of Western watercolor masters over the last two centuries.
You can see the influence of some great watercolor masters, such as Thomas Girtin, John Sell Cotman, J.M.W. Turner, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, and Edward Seago in his works.
Chien also breaks the boundary between watercolors and oil paints. He created a series of works using watercolors and gouache that look like the Romantic oil paintings of the 19th century.
Those works totally changed the conventional impression of watercolors!
His works are classic in color, with masterful brushstrokes that endow every character with a rich fullness.
He creates beauty and intrigue of form even with ordinary subjects, and that’s the enchantment of his watercolors.
Today, you get the chance to learn from this amazing artist and discover new skills that will propel your art to an entirely different level.
