Chinese painting is always associated with paper, brushes and ink, and depicts generally landscapes, portraits, and birds-and-flowers. 

Chu Hing-wah excels in using traditional Chinese painting materials to depict the people and their lives around him. With a special touch of modernity, his signature techniques of painting in Chinese ink on the reverse of the paper and then integrating subdued colours to the front surface produces a harmonious effect to his work. 

This resource kit aims to appreciate the creativity and style of Chu’s works by understanding his unique personal experiences. It encourages students to breathe new life into traditional Chinese painting with a touch of modernity.
