Compositionally, Neihuang County peasant paintings are characterized by fullness and completeness. The idealized aesthetic psychological orientation of "seeking completeness" of things formed by the Chinese cyclic cosmology embodied in the concept of Han folk art modeling is well embodied in Neihuang County peasant paintings.

But fullness is not to make the picture cumbersome, bloated, folk artists also pay attention to play the role of the blank screen, make good use of the blank screen on the object of the role of the foil.

Modeling, fat for beauty, with concise, exaggerated and decorative interest. Perhaps too much suffering in the past, in the minds of the local people, fat is always associated with the concept of rich, well-fed, happy life, etc. At the same time, fat is a symbol of health, ability, prosperity. Therefore, the figures in Neihuang County farmers' paintings are "simple and thick", and the expressions are "clumsy and coarse". Especially the female figures, almost all of them are rich and full. Folk artists do not look at the object with the naked eye, but with the mind's eye to think of the image, and seek the true feelings and intentions of the real, not to seek the natural shape of the real, this unique concept of modeling, naturally, has its own unique aesthetic value."
