Is white brush painting a type of coloring

Working Brush White Drawing is not a coloring type, but a technique in Chinese working brush painting. It relies heavily on fine, accurate lines to depict an object, rather than through color. Originally, white drawing was probably used only for sketching, but through the development of the Song Dynasty painter Li Gonglin, it was gradually elevated to a separate type of painting. Li Gonglin's white drawings are like flowing clouds and water, with infinite variations, showing great expressive power. The white brushwork occupies an important position in Chinese painting, which is famous for its simplicity and conciseness, as well as its clear generalization. Its techniques include single hook and double hook, and the artist, through clever trade-offs and comparisons, makes the relationship between reality and falsehood, sparseness and density of the picture come to the fore. The shape of the object, God, light, color, volume, texture, etc., can be expressed by lines, which shows its high artistic difficulty. Therefore, the white brushwork is more concerned with the use of lines and changes, rather than color, and it is unique in Chinese painting art with its unique artistic charm.
