Characteristics of meticulous painting and heavy color

Heavy color paintings mostly use mineral colors, while light color paintings mostly use plant colors.

"Heavy color", also known as heavy coloring, is mostly dyed with mineral pigments such as cinnabar, azurite and stone green. The dyeing step is very complicated. After repeated dyeing, the color is deep and thick, magnificent, exquisite and neat, and rich in decorative effect.

"Light color" is mainly dyed with transparent plant color (also called watercolor). The basic method of light color dyeing is the same as that of heavy color, but the specific color dyeing is simple. Therefore, light color has clear lines, bright colors, fresh, elegant and hazy effects.

There are many kinds, such as flat coating, sub-dyeing, cover dyeing and so on. Flat painting is mostly used for flat painting of colors on colored backgrounds and local areas of the picture, which is not suitable for seeing pen marks. Sub-dyeing is a kind of dyeing method to separate the structure of objects, and there are two kinds of high dyeing and low dyeing. It is high dyeing, which dyes the convex part in the middle of the object to create a little three-dimensional effect.

Cover dyeing is to cover the dyed parts with colored ink of a certain color, which can produce thick and steady color changes. In contrast, a part of colored ink is usually baked and dyed outside the object to strengthen the shaping of the main object, which is actually to enlarge the dyeing and use it in moonlight and snow scenes.
