The above is the name of a page/site I saw referred to on Facebook so investigated. It is a celebration of Chinese watercolour painting, and while I only looked at part of the photographic albums there are a considerable number to peruse and enjoy. The number of Chinese watercolour artists continues to amaze me. Yes, it is a very large country with a huge population but not much is known of these artists in the West, and they are so good. Many it appears are proteges of the famous Guan Wexing who is better known outside China. Enjoy!

Just going to look now, I had trouble believing my eyes at some of them they are so life like.
A lot of Chinese artists - not all - do go in for very realistic paintings. Wonderful technique but i prefer a 'looser' approach. Artists like Can bei An illustrate this.
I agree, but they're very beautiful. I think Liu yi manages to paint realism with a looser touch.
Quite true. There are some who paint in a 'loose' style.
