The difference between Chinese painting and foreign painting

Difference between Chinese painting and foreign painting:

1. Different materials and tools

Chinese painting is done with brushes, ink, mineral pigments, silk and rice paper.

Foreign traditional oil painting is painted with oil-based pigments on cloth, wood or thick cardboard.

2, the use of painting techniques are different

Chinese paintings are full of lines, foreign paintings are not significant lines. Most of the line is not the original object, is the painter used to represent the realm of the two objects. Chinese painters use it, while foreigners do not use it, so foreign paintings are very much like objects, Chinese paintings are not like objects, giving people a sense of charm.

3, painting background is different

Chinese paintings rarely deliberately to render the background. For example, a pine tree stands alone on a cliff, surrounded by white paper. In the case of a bird, a bird rests on a branch without a background.

Foreign paintings are relatively more concerned about the background, painting objects must have a background. For example, a vase with a table in the background. For animals, the background is an outdoor tree or a house. The picture will be completely filled in, leaving no blanks.
