Qi Baishi’s shrimp paintings mainly have the following characteristics: 1. Concise and general, transcending life. Qi Baishi's shrimp paintings went through a process from complexity to simplicity. In order to pursue a simple effect, he once reduced the shrimp body from six to five, and the shrimp's feet were greatly reduced, truly achieving "less wins more" miraculous effect. Second, the ink technique is superb and crystal clear. Qi Baishi's self-created method of "mixing water with ink and dotting the ink with water" gives the shrimps he painted a completely transparent, crystal-clear and lifelike feeling, which is admirable. 3. Partial exaggeration and moderate deformation. In order to highlight the dynamics of the shrimp, the shrimp tentacles and claws are moderately exaggerated and enlarged. The extra-long shrimp tentacles and claws significantly enhance the agility and momentum of the shrimp. Fourth, there is a method for gathering and dispersing, and the layout is exquisite. The difficulty in drawing shrimps lies in how to skillfully handle the interpenetration, superposition and echo of the limbs. Qi Baishi has made profound research on this point. The density is arranged appropriately, crowded but not crowded, dense but not chaotic. In order to highlight the off-screen meaning, every "half shrimp" treatment has a strong off-screen tone. Fifth, use calligraphy into painting, with softness and strength. Although the shrimp painting mainly uses ink expression, missing the superb "flying white" expression commonly seen in other flower and bird paintings by Shiraishi, his extraordinary calligraphy skills make the shrimps he painted are soft but hard, moist but firm. . Sixth, vivid and expressive. The biggest feature of Qi Baishi's shrimp paintings is the word "living". All the shrimps he painted are vivid and full of vitality.
