Meet your Instructor:
Hi, I'm Rainbow
I am an artist based in Hong Kong. Among the various mediums with which I have worked, I found particular interest in the art of watercolor early on. I appreciated its fluid, flowing properties - it had a life of its own. The process of painting was like a dance with water; I was drawn to the movement of this medium, one that can never be fully controlled yet is wholly beautiful in its nature.
Over the years, I have created a number of series and collections exploring light and color in depicting environments and spaces. Painting has become the medium through which I ventured to see the world around me with wonder; to see the world in all its glorious beauty and serenity, with awe. In the last decade, I have been fortunate enough to share my work with others through exhibitions and workshops locally and internationally. I am honored to be sharing my art process with you in this class.
