Application Form

Paul Ching-Bor handles watercolor the way most artists handle oil: layering and veiling, glazing and washing. In Ching-Bor’s hands, watercolor becomes a much more deft and responsive medium. He applies this innovative way of utilizing the medium to his complex compositions of urban streets, bridge abutments and overpasses—the stark lines of which seem antithetical to the fluid and seemingly passive nature of watercolor. Paul will work closely and intensively with his students on his innovative techniques, while pushing the group’s perceptions in terms of composition and sense of scale.
