What is Qi Baishi good at painting?

Qi Baishi studied painting techniques all his life, and was good at painting flowers, birds, fish, insects and landscape figures, among which the shrimp he wrote was praised by the world.

As for the shrimp in his works, someone once commented that although a drop of water was not drawn, the posture of the shrimp seemed to be in the water.

It can be seen how wonderful Qi Baishi's shrimp painting technique is. The shrimp painted by Qi Baishi in ink and wash has a natural and harmonious overall layout, a vivid and lifelike manner, and swims in the illusory "water", enjoying itself. Combined with the traditional blank-out technique of Chinese painting, the whole painting gives viewers endless imagination space.

Qi Baishi's creation of prawns is based on long-term observation and research. When he was young, he began to draw shrimps straight, but later he observed more.

The shrimp body has a certain radian, and the number of knots in the shrimp body has also changed, reaching a simple and meticulous beauty. It can be said that Qi Baishi's painting of shrimps has become synonymous with him.
