Are all your Chinese paintings originals?

Yes, all of our Chinese paintings are originals. Each painting on this website is a hand-painted one-of-a-kind.

Are they all traditional Chinese paintings?

We have both traditional and contemporary Chinese paintings. See traditional paintings in the traditional gallery rooms and the bargain basement. See contemporary paintings in the contemporary gallery rooms.

Are they painted onto paper, silk or what?

Unless otherwise stated all our Chinese paintings are painted onto Xuan paper. Xuan (pron. "zwan") paper is made from rice (but not "rice paper" as we would normally think of it) and is the traditional Chinese painting material. In China Xuan paper is well known for it's anti-aging quality as it can last for hundreds of years. If a painting is not painted on Xuan paper then it is painted onto silk.

What kind of paint is used?

Traditional Chinese paints are used. Strictly speaking it's not paint as it's water based paints colored with vegetable dyes mixed together with certain types of inks.

How experienced are the artists ?

Very experienced. All the artists have been painting for a minimum of 15 years and in some cases over 60 years. They are members of many prestigious painting associations and have won many awards.
