Characteristics of Chinese painting:
Chinese painting is mainly based on line and ink, pays attention to brushwork, pursues the artistic effect of "fine brushwork and exquisite ink", and pays attention to the use of bone brushwork. These are all requirements for the connotation of pen and ink. "Bone method" is also called "bone power", which refers to the pen power contained in writing and painting. It is the pillar that forms the pointillism and form, and is also the basis for expressing expressions. The painter pours his emotions into the image with strong brushwork, making it more vital.
During the modeling process, the artist’s emotions are always integrated with his brushwork. Wherever the pen touches, all traces of the painter's emotional activities are left behind. Chinese painting pays attention to charm and pursues artistic conception. A painter should have the skill to "paint like". But if the work is tangible but not spiritual, then no matter how similar the painting is, it is not the purpose of Chinese painting. Paintings that are tangible but not spiritual exist, but paintings that are spiritual and formless do not exist.
