Renowed Artists from NZ and Whole World


Welcome to Internatioanl Watercolour Society New Zealand

New Zealand is famous for its amazing nature, heritage, and scenery. We may easily have breath-taking clouds, twilights, oceans, waves, snows, mountains, and flowers here. All of which are unstoppable sources for artists. In addition, the effects from various watercolour washes can perfectly reflect the beauties.

When what you see becomes what you are painting, you are letting everyone enjoy the touching moment through your art pieces.

That is why IWS NZ shall exist, not only meeting world-class art masters, but also NZ artists let the global people experience our charming world.

Traditional Chinese Painting
is a type of Watercolour Painting?

the Longest Watercolour Techniques over 2000years

Do you know that the Chinese invented paper and brush about 2000 years ago, the first form of drawing is just ink painting.

Coincidently western and China used similar sources from nature’s heritage, therefore Chinese painting has almost same techniques as modern watercolour painting

Gongbi(fine details) and Xieyi(free style) are two respensative styles for Chinese painting. Why the ancient Chinese didn’t use canvases? How old Chinese painting could last thousands of years?
