Line modeling is the characteristic of Chinese painting techniques, and it is also the foundation and backbone of meticulous painting. The requirements of meticulous painting for lines are neat, delicate and rigorous. Generally, the center pen is used more.
It is dominated by inherent colors, which are generally gorgeous, calm, bright and elegant, with uniform tones, and have a strong aesthetic taste of China national colors.
Meticulous painting requires "cleverness and precision" (Han Zhuo's Complete Works of Mountains and Waters in Northern Song Dynasty), and meticulous painting can be expressed by ink painting, light crimson, turquoise, resplendent and magnificent, and boundary painting.

Calligraphy Pen: Like calligraphy, China meticulous painting has three processes: starting, writing and receiving. Starting and collecting pens are two key parts in the process of marking, and the quality of starting and collecting pens directly affects the quality of lines and the writing process. Whether the pen is in place or not is related to the strength and elasticity of the line.
An important aspect of whether a painter's basic skills are solid is whether the pen is in place, the relationship between reality and reality and its directionality.
Modeling with Line: Line is the most basic expression language of China's meticulous painting. There is no simple straight line in the objective world. Lines are abstracted subjectively by people. Using line modeling can be said to be the instinctive refinement of human image, and it is the same means of expression in China and the West. It can be seen from the images in China primitive social rock paintings and western primitive murals that they are all expressed by lines.
In addition to line modeling, China's meticulous brushwork can also express the texture and sense of quantity of the object through various changes (light and heavy brushwork, lift, press, fast, slow, sudden, slow brushwork, backward, forward, turn, folding direction, center, flank, anti-wing, scattered front, hook, brush, etc.). ).
China's meticulous painting has a long history. From the Warring States to the Song Dynasty, the creation of meticulous painting moved from naivety to maturity. Meticulous painting uses the means of "doing my best", and obtains the perfect unity of expression and form through "taking shape with spirit, taking shape with line and expressing meaning with shape". In meticulous painting, both figure painting and flower-and-bird painting strive for similarity, and "shape" plays an important role in meticulous painting.
Different from freehand brushwork in ink painting, meticulous painting pays more attention to "details" and realism. The pictures of ladies holding flowers and ladies shaking fans in the Tang Dynasty, the pictures of Tao Ren by Zhang Xuan and You Chuntu, the wife of the State of Guo, all describe real life. These works are not only descriptive but also poetic. After the late Ming Dynasty, with the introduction of western painting techniques into China, Chinese and western paintings began to learn from each other, thus making meticulous painting more accurate in modeling, while maintaining the natural flow of lines and poetic content.
