Painting Demonstration with Ming Yeung - Wildlife in Watercolor

Access

About

There’s an Artist that comes to mind when we think of wildlife and nature. Her works are captivating, composed, and lively. In her paintings, one can see the animals’ emotions and actions expressed through her versatile brushstrokes. While another notices the beauty and vividness of plants brought to life.

Through life’s hardships she had developed empathy for the world’s endangered species. In 2015, this inspired her to devote most of her time toward creating a series of paintings that spotlighted various endangered species, including one of her larger collections featuring the planet’s endangered rhinos.

Ming hopes that 'Endangered Rhino' in this video is able to raise the awareness of the world's endangered species. Free Style painting requires precise brushstrokes, versatile brush skills, and consistent practice. Ming currently is teaching painting classes at a local community centre. Feel free to contact her for more information.

Ming Yeung

Ming's passion for wildlife didn't stop there. In 2019, as part of Richmond BC’s No. 3 Road Art Column Project, Ming’s creation “Wildlife in the City” - depicting local wildlife was featured on a transportation infrastructure column outside Lansdowne Canada Line Station, sparking an awareness of wildlife and the need to protect them. Through the highs and lows and the world of art, Ming has truly gained mastery of her craft. Today, her works are in public view — welcoming viewers into frames of the great natural world!

Back in 2016, Ming launched four exhibitions of her rhino art "Meet the Rhinos" highlighting the world's remaining northern white rhinos which was displayed at the City Centre Community Centre, the Gateway Theater, the Upper Rotunda - the Richmond Cultural Centre, and the Thompson Community Centre throughout the year. This travelling exhibit helped to raise awareness of the ever endangered rhinos, showcased their beautiful existence, and brought to light the importance of keeping the species alive.

After achieving an 'Artistic Innovation' award in 2019, she has continued her ongoing art project 'Art for the World's Endangered Species' through exhibitions and teaching classes. She has been promoting her style of painting through exhibitions, teaching classes, artist demonstrations, and interviews in the Lower Mainland since 2002. She is an exceptional artistic person with a very deep commitment to her Chinese Free Style painting style and her unwavering commitment to the world's endangered wildlife species.
