OUR STORY

Where Ancient Craft Meets Modern Art

Sicon Art was born from a simple belief: that the soul of a thousand-year-old brush-making tradition deserves to live in the hands of today’s artists. We bridge the ancient craft of Chinese brush making with the expressive needs of modern watercolor, urban sketching, and plein air painting.

PHILOSOPHY

More Than a Brush - A Bridge Between Worlds

Every Sicon Art brush carries the wisdom of generations of Chinese brush makers. We don’t just sell tools – we tell the stories and culture behind traditional Chinese brushes, helping artists understand how centuries of refinement translate into superior watercolor performance. From the careful selection of natural hair blends to the thoughtful shaping of each tip, our brushes are designed so artists can move from precise outlines to expressive washes to smooth gradients with fewer tool changes.

THE FOUNDER

Meet the Artist Behind the Brushes

Wang Feng (Tina) is a self-taught watercolor artist and plein air painter based in Dongguan, China. Known for painting from life – capturing traditional architecture, street scenes, and nature through urban sketching and on-location watercolor – Tina brings careful observation and emotional depth to every subject she paints.

In 2015, she founded Encore Fine Arts Studio, and a decade later, her deep appreciation for traditional Chinese brush craftsmanship led her to create Sicon Art in 2025 – a brand built to share the magic of handcrafted Chinese brushes with artists everywhere.

“My watercolor is my inner journey toward freedom – so don’t be afraid to paint what your heart truly feels.”

Tina’s work has earned multiple awards including an Honorable Mention and Art Sparks Merchandise Award at the Women in Watercolor International Competition (2025), and a national prize in China’s Urban Sketch Competition (2022). In 2026, she was appointed Deputy Secretary-General of the Dongguan Artists Association. Her exhibitions span from solo shows in Sri Lanka to international sketchwalk events across Asia.

THE CRAFT

Crafted for Artists Who Feel the Difference

Each brush is made with carefully selected hair blends and thoughtful proportions, designed for maximum versatility and control.

Needle-Sharp Point

Confident linework and precise details. Every tip is shaped to give you the finest lines when you need them most.

Generous Belly

Expressive washes and smooth gradients. The belly holds generous amounts of water for flowing, uninterrupted painting.

Reliable Snap-Back

Control and consistency, stroke after stroke. The brush returns to its original shape for predictable, confident painting.
