What are the painting methods of Chinese painting?

Hello, the painting methods of Chinese painting are: meticulous painting, boneless painting and freehand painting. The most striking feature of Chinese painting technique is that it is based on ink lines, which is used to express the outline, light and shade and texture of objects, and at the same time, it can express the painter's thoughts and spirit through ink lines.

1, meticulous painting is a kind of Chinese painting expression technique that depicts scenery with delicate brushwork. In meticulous painting, both figure painting and flower-and-bird painting strive for similarity, and "shape" plays an important role in meticulous painting. Different from ink painting, meticulous painting pays more attention to "details" and realism.

2, boneless painting, its three manifestations are: the first one is more detailed, but omits the double hook ink line, which is made by adding color layer by layer. The second painting method is a little looser than the freehand brushwork, and it is directly colored and completed at one time. The third painting method is to modify the color first, and dye the part with other similar colors before drying, which will produce semi-fusion effect or slightly mottled color change.

3. Freehand brushwork is to describe the scenery with concise brushwork. Freehand brushwork painting is more used for propaganda, which can better reflect the charm of the scenery described and directly express the author's feelings than meticulous painting.
