Is there any difference between gouache and Chinese painting? Please tell me.

1, different meanings

Gouache painting is a kind of painting painted using water and powder pigments. Its performance is characterized by the opaque and translucent, the color can be produced on the screen, bright, soft, bright, thick and other artistic effects.

Chinese painting mainly refers to the painting on silk, rice paper, silk and framed scroll painting. Chinese painting is a traditional form of painting in China, in which a brush is dipped in water, ink and color and painted on silk or paper.

2, different characteristics

General gouache paintings show the reflective effect and transparent watercolor paintings are very different from the bright effect, therefore, gouache paintings generally do not use the method of multi-moisture color mixing, but the use of white chalk to adjust the brightness of the color to the method of thick paintings to show their own unique color effect.

Chinese painting, in the observation and understanding of objective things, adopts the method of looking at small things in a big way and seeing big things in a small way, and observes and understands the objective things in the activities, and even participates in the things directly, instead of making the appearance of the bureau or confining it to a certain fixed point.

Expanded:

The characteristics of wet and dry gouache painting and the range of applications are basically as described earlier. To be particularly clear: dry painting method and wet painting method of demarcation is to brush the amount of water to decide, the general view that the powder and color more, painted thick, is dry painting method, which is inaccurate, because it must be more powder, more color, less water to become dry painting method.

There are also people who think that having less powder and painting thinly is a wet painting method, which is also inaccurate, because it can only be a wet painting method if there is a lot of water used to dilute the pigment. Therefore, it can be said that there are dry painting methods with a lot of powder and dry painting methods with little powder.

Contrary to this, there are also wet painting methods with a lot of powder and wet painting methods with little powder. But no matter dry or wet, it is still better to use the powder properly, so as not to lose the characteristics of gouache painting.
