Do you know something about Chinese painting? Chinese painting also
called traditional Chinese painting. Just as its name implies it is
painted with the traditional Chinese painting tools in accordance with
the Chinese people's aesthetic standard. As an important part of
traditional Chinese culture and the invaluable treasure of Chinese
nation, it has a long history and fine traditions in the field of art in
the world. And it has taken a distinctive course or attitude of its
own. Here we give an outline of this painting, and take a simple example
of drawing Chinese painting. Characteristics
Unlike the western painting, the traditional Chinese painting has
its distinctive characteristics. It does not emphasize one-point
perspective and the change of light and colors on objects. It is free in
describing the objects, and lay more emphasis on the painter's
sentiment and the overall arrangement of the picture, so this is a good
point that "the occidental painting is redivious art, but Chinese
painting belongs to expressionist art".
By means of artistic expression, traditional Chinese painting can be divided into elaborate-style painting, liberal-style painting, and the elaborate-liberal-style
painting. The elaborate-style painting is drawn and colored orderly and
meticulously with the painting brush, it uses an extremely exquisite
brushwork to describe the objects. Comparatively, the liberal-style
painting employs free and concise stroke and ink to describe the
appearance and spirit of the objects, and express the painter's
sensation. it is highly synoptically,and its connotative artistic
conception is not conveyed by the overall, but the partial. Drawing the
liberal-style painting, the painter is required to put the painting
brush to paper precisely, and his every stroke must be skillfully and
with high proficiency to express the spirit of the picture. For the
elaborate-liberal-style painting, it is an integrated application on the
techniques both of the elaborate-style painting and of the
liberal-style painting.
The skill of using strokes and ink is an important part of the
formation of Chinese painting. Its strokes are stressed the varieties on
thick and thin, swiftness and slowness, with syncopated cadence,
turning and breaking, square and round to express the tactile sensation
of the objects. In general, Chinese painting uses ink is subtle in the
combination of shade and light as entirely shade or light is not good
for conveying the spirit of the picture. Its shade part looks wonderful
but not mechanical and the light part is delicately beautiful but not
gloomy.
Chinese painting is particular in applying colors. Its colors most
are from natural mineral materials and the animal shell. They can bear
all kinds of weather and not fade, and they are often applied on the
picture levelly. This way of applying colors pursues the original colors
of the objects, the change of light and shadow is not often appears

The artistic expression of Chinese painting differs from that of
western painting because of its tools for painting. To draw a Chinese
painting, the writing brush, ink stick, rice paper, and ink-stone are
necessary. Especially for the rice paper ( Xuan paper), it is the best
tool for Chinese painting because it has a nice texture to allow the
writing brush, wet with Chinese ink and held in a well-trained hand to
move freely on it, making strokes varying from shade to light, from real
to imaginative. Materials for Chinese painting
Generally, Chinese painting is drawn on the rice paper. But in the
fans, porcelain, bowls and dishes you also find the beautiful Chinese
pictures when you shopping in the tourist shopping streets or eating in
some special restaurants. Besides, the Chinese pictures are also drawn
on the silk, screens, even on many ancient tombs' walls. Shapes of Chinese painting
Chinese painting is diverse in its shapes. Except the mural, there
are traverse, vertical, square, round, and flat in shapes, it also
differs in size and length. Combination of poem, calligraphy, painting and signet
Chinese painting shows the perfect union of poem, calligraphy,
painting and signet. Generally, Many a Chinese painter is a poet as well
as a calligrapher. He often adds a poem on it personally and stamps his
various signets on the painting after he finishes it. The combination
of the four makes the painting look more integrated, perfect and
beautiful, which can bring the appreciator an aesthetic pleasure. Mounting
Mounting a Chinese picture is for keeping and housing for a long
time because many a Chinese picture is drawn on the breakable rice paper
or painting silk. The traditional Chinese mounting technique is diverse
in forms but commonly the picture is backed a piece of paper up, and
then purfles it with the ninon, silk or paper. Compared with a
not-mounted picture, the mounted picture is more substantial, beautiful,
and convenient for collection and appreciation. Themes

of the traditional Chinese painting can be classified into three
branches i.e. human figures, landscapes, and flowers and birds.
