Traditional Style Illustration - Summary and Appreciation of Several Types of Illustration Styles

What are the characteristics of traditional Chinese illustrations? Old novels have illustrations and embroidered images, is a tradition in China. Illustrations are woodblock prints, is engraved on the woodblock and then printed, often painted both vulgar, engraved and simple, with very few exceptions. Ren Weichang in the Xianfeng years, is generally considered to be the last master of China's traditional printmaking. Passed down the "thirty-three swordsmen figure", the character modeling is very vivid. Printmaking in China has a very long history. The most ancient works of printmaking, is the Han Dynasty Xiao-shaped seal, in the seal carved with dragons, tigers, birds and other charts, printed on silk and paper, become a beautiful and skillful graphics. Printmaking grew in the Sui and Tang Dynasty Buddhist paintings, flourished in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and reached its peak at the end of the Ming Dynasty, with the greatest artist being Chen Hongshou (Lao Lian). In the Qing Dynasty, printmaking developed in general, and New Year's paintings were popular among the people. Ren Weichang in the Xianfeng period is generally regarded as one of the last masters of traditional printmaking in China. Later prints were influenced by Western art and were quite different from the traditional style of China. Ren Weichang painted a collection of prints "thirty-three swordsmen figure", *** there are thirty-three swordsmen figure, the character modeling is very vivid. Occasional free time, flipping through several pages, very trigger some imagination, often give rise to a thought: "It is best to give each picture 'insert' a short story." It has always been the practice for painters to illustrate for novelists, and it seems that no one who writes novels has ever illustrated a series of paintings with a novel. Since I don't read much, I don't know all the stories of these thirty-three swordsmen. But anyway is to write a novel, do not know the original canon, might as well create a story. But even write thirty-three swordsman story wish, can never be accomplished. After I wrote the first story "The Sword of the Lady of Yue", I couldn't write the second story "The Gnarled Bearded Swordsman". Writing a narrative is much less laborious than writing a novel, so the original stories were introduced instead in a straightforward manner. Four of the stories, "The Gnarled Bearded Man," "Nie Yinniang," "The Red Thread," and "The Kunlun Slave," are well known and will not be recounted in detail; meanwhile, the original text is so well-written that I do not have the ability to translate it into a similarly succinct and lucid stylized text, and so I have included the original text in the appendix. The more out-of-the-way stories are written out in their entirety in the original language. Chinese ancient books engraved illustration art of the ancients writing books, attach importance to the role of the map. "left map right book", "left map right history", "the text is not enough to fill in the map, the map is not enough to narrate the text", the map and the text, complement each other, is a good tradition of the Chinese book. Chinese books engraved and printed throughout the ages, like a vast ocean, many of which are accompanied by beautiful illustrations, which is not only a valuable historical and cultural wealth, but also the study of ancient politics, culture, folklore, vivid materials. First, China's ancient books engraved illustrations of the origin and emergence of China's ancient books, in terms of its form of production, can be roughly divided into writing the book and printing the book of the two times. Before the Han dynasty, people will be copied in the book of bamboo, wooden documents and other natural carriers or thick silk and other silk fabrics. 1942, Changsha, Hunan province, the warring states chu tombs unearthed a silk painting, painted on the colorful images and similar to the description of the text of the Jinwen, surrounded by twelve gods, symbolizing the twelve months, is China's silk illustration of the earlier remains. The so-called plate engraving illustration, is to use engraving printing way to obtain a copy of the drawing. Engraving printing, also known as full-page printing, refers to the text or drawings counter-engraved on a block of wood or other materials, and then inked and brushed on the plate printing method. This method, can be obtained in large quantities illustrated manuscript copies. As the ancient bookplate to pear, jujube wood-based, so these illustrations, are prints, also known as woodcuts. After the invention of engraving and printing, the first application of the Buddhist scriptures illustrations. Tang dynasty famous monk xuanzang master, had carved and printed the Buddha's image to benefit the four directions. The end of the Tang Dynasty Feng Zhi "cloud fairy scattered record" volume quoted in the "monks garden yi record" said: "Xuanzang to return to the front of the paper printing Pratyekabuddhist image, Shi in the four directions, every year five packs of no more." Visible quantity is quite a lot. Existing older version of the illustrated artwork, for the 1953 in chengdu city, outside the east gate of the tang tomb near Wangjiang tower unearthed in the "dharani sutra incantation". This piece was found inside a silver bracelet worn on the arm of the tomb's owner, engraved with ancient Sanskrit mantras, surrounded by and centered on a small Buddha image. It was published after the second year of Emperor Suzong Zhide of the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 757). In the Tang Dynasty prints, another more important work is the title page of the Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra printed in the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty (868 A.D.). This piece is a volume of about 16 feet long, made of six pages of paper glued together, the end of the volume is painted "Gion Gives Lonely Garden" picture, the whole picture is gorgeous, the layout is stable, and the use of lines in the delicate see strong, which is a masterpiece of engraving technology has reached maturity. At the end of the volume, there is a publication mark of "On April 15 of the ninth year of the reign of Xiantong, Wang d respectfully created Pusi for the two relatives", which is the earliest existing engraved illustration artwork and masterpiece of Buddhist engraving in the world with the exact date of publication and inscription. China in the form of engraving for the book printed illustrations, than the European early at least five hundred years, this picture is China's early engraving illustrations in the most prestigious masterpieces. In the early Tang Dynasty, the emperors mostly adopted the policy of emphasizing Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and Buddhism developed rapidly. The female emperor Wu Zetian changed Tang to Zhou, borrowed the "Great Cloud Scripture" for the prophecy of the female lord appointed by heaven, claiming that her "Dragon Rising" is a prophecy of the Buddha, but also the great development of Buddhism. At that time, statues and temples were built all over the country, and the publication of sutra scrolls by the people became a popular trend. Thus, the number of Buddhist prints and paintings must have been large. It is only because of the long period of time that few prints of the Tang Dynasty have been handed down to the present day. In addition to the Tang Huichang five years (AD 845), the Tang Wuzong imperial decree to destroy the Buddha, the scriptures engraved version, all to the ashes, passed on to the present day of the Buddhist engraving illustrations, such as the auspicious light piece of feather, difficult to find and difficult to find. But according to the documentary records and existing objects, it is initially certain that, after the invention of Chinese engraving and printing, the first in the Buddhist scriptures in the printing of the most widely used, Buddhist subject matter works, but also become the earliest emergence of the art of Chinese engraving and illustration of art history categories. Second, to carry on the first after the Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan illustration following the Tang and the Five Dynasties, is a great turbulence in Chinese history, the great division, the great chaos of the times, but also the history of art is a period of relative decline. However, the art of engraved illustration pioneered by the Tang Dynasty made considerable progress in the midst of the turmoil. Surviving works of engraved illustration in the Five Dynasties, the subject matter is still only one kind of Buddhism, the number is like a phoenix feather, but compared with the Tang Dynasty, there are still some more. One of the most noteworthy is the "Great Sage Vishamon Heavenly King Statue" and "Great Compassionate Goddess of Mercy and Suffering Statue". The two pictures were printed in the later Jin Kaiyun four years (AD 947), the latter is inscribed with the words "return to the Yi army section of the history of the inspection of the school too Fu Cao Yuanzhong made", under the name of the engraver Lei Yanmei, is the earliest one of the engraving of the time, place, publication, the name of the engraver, engraving a complete plate carving illustration works; the former is the earliest one of the plate carving illustration works. Guanyin statues, indicating that although they are all Buddhist works of art, but in the choice of subject matter, much richer than the Tang Dynasty. A.D. 960, the Northern Song Dynasty was established, after the South and North, cut down the group, the country back to unity. The Song dynasty emphasized the rule of literature, engraving and printing technology comprehensive development, plate engraving illustration art has also made great progress. Song Dynasty engraving illustration art remains, still mainly Buddhist content. Such as Song Taizong published "imperial secret interpretation" illustration four, is the oldest existing landscape painting prints; Yongxi years published "Maitreya Buddha", "Manjushri bodhisattva statue" and so on four charts (now exists in Japan), are all fine products; "big with the request of the dharani mandala", "big with the request of the dharani mantra scriptures, etc., are also world-famous relics. He, such as the Southern Song Lin'an published "Manjushri Guide Tuzan", the plate placed on the top of the page, is the earliest existing large-scale Buddhist illustration group, can also be said to be the longest history of the comic book works. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jian'an Yu's Qin You Tang published the "Biography of the Ladies", a work worthy of special mention. Xu Kang (徐康), in his "Record of Dreams and Shadows in the Former Dust", commented, "Since the embroidered image books, the Song publication of Lei Nü Zhuan (列女傳) is the most refined." The book is illustrated above and below, and the layout is similar to that of the Manjushri Guidebook. Confrontation with the Song Liao, Jin, Western Xia, are China's ethnic minorities to establish the regime. They are in the plate engraving illustration of this field of art, the same has made impressive achievements. Such as the Liao capital city of yanjing, is the northern buddhist engraving illustration art of an important place of creation. in July 1974, in Shanxi province should be county fugong temple jiajia tower, found a large number of buddhist scriptures of the liao dynasty engraved, which is accompanied by more than a dozen of the illustration, each is a fine product. Jin dynasty engraved sutra "zhao cheng zang" (also known as "jin cang") title painting, engraved plate is strict and powerful, deep and thick, simple and bright background, the character personality is distinctive, is the buddhist engraved illustrations in the rare masterpiece. From the above, it is not difficult to see the five generations, song and liao, gold plate engraving illustration, no matter in the carving and engraving technology, carving team, drawing territory, or in the performance of the content and methods, progress is obvious, for the art of plate engraving illustration in the future development laid a good foundation. Yuan dynasty, is also an important era in the history of China's engraving and printing, Yuan publication of book illustrations than the two Song dynasty is not only not inferior, but also progress. In terms of religious plates, the yuan dynasty completed the "moraine sand Tibetan", title painting neat work, far out of the song above. More importantly, many varieties of Chinese book illustrations, is in the yuan dynasty only began to appear. Such as yuan publication "the west wing" is the earliest surviving opera illustration, "full phase of five kinds of plain language" is the earliest plain language publication of illustrations, "the matter WenGuangJi" for the class of the beginning of the book has a map, which are engraved illustration art history is worth writing a book of the matter. Therefore, the Song and Yuan Dynasties is an important era in the history of Chinese engraving and illustration art to carry on the precedent and start from the past. Third, the bright and colorful Ming illustration Ming Dynasty, China's comprehensive development of book publishing industry, carving home, workshop bee rise, plate engraving illustration art also entered a golden age of prosperity and development. Its characteristics are mainly manifested in the following aspects. Hundred flowers blossom, unprecedented prosperity, is the first feature of the Ming dynasty engraving illustration. After the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties of exploration, to the Ming Dynasty, the art of engraved illustrations not only in the production of unprecedented geographical expansion, and gradually formed a Jianan, Jinling, Xinan three major schools of art, others, such as Wulin, Suzhou, Wuxing and other places of engraved illustrations, but also has its own characteristics, surrounded by the three major schools of art, such as the stars of the moon, showing a school of vibrant life. Each school, the regional prints compete with each other, and each other's exchanges, promote, for the Chinese engraving art to a broader world development, provides a very good condition. Forms are diverse, each excels in the field, is the second characteristic of the Ming dynasty engraving illustration art. This is mainly manifested in the form of illustrations in addition to the Song, Yuan's single-sided way, on the map below, and then appeared double-sided even type, multi-face even type, moonlight type and many other types of painters with the type of shape, provides a full range of options. From childish and clumsy to exquisite and elaborate, is the third feature of the Ming dynasty engraving illustration art, but also the biggest feature of its artistic style. Generally speaking, the early Jian'an, Jinling school illustrations, with rough and simple folk art sketchy style. Since the rise of Hui printmaking, painting must seek its fine, work must seek its fine, gradually became the mainstream of illustration art in the Ming Dynasty, Jian'an, Jinling and other places of printmaking is also close to it, and its fusion, convergence, so that the art of Chinese illustration is more brilliant and eye-catching. This is probably because after the middle and late Ming Wanli, there are a large number of literati to participate in the creation of illustration, so that illustration is not only the book's binding, the text of the illustration, but also the literati desktop play. Intellectuals to join, to improve the social status of illustration, and promote its quality and quantity on the leap, played a decisive role. Illustration art team specialization, is the fourth feature of the Ming dynasty engraving illustration art. Ming dynasty illustration art court, leaving the name of the painter is very much, such as wang keng, wang xiu, cai chong huan, he ying, lu xiazi, xiong lianquan, zhang mengzheng, etc., are a moment of fame. These people work hard, leaving behind uncountable works, such as Wang Wenheng works that can still be seen today, that is, no less than dozens of many. Some popular artists, such as Tang Yin, Qiu Ying, Qian Gu, Ding Yunpeng, Chen Hongshou, etc., but also for the illustration of the drawing. Ming dynasty engraver, more like stars. Such as the main general of the Hui engraver - Anhui Shexian Qiu Chuan Huang engraver, seen in the "Qiu Chuan Huang's rewritten genealogy" recorded, there are nearly three hundred people. Their fathers and sons of the industry, brother to brother, and living in the north and south of the world, the Huizhou engraving style has made outstanding contributions to the dissemination of the style. Others, such as Jingde Bao Chengxun, Guo Zhuoran, Wulin Xiang Nanzhou, Wuxing Wang Wenzhuo, Jinling Liu Su Ming, etc., are a generation of master craftsmen. Such a large team of engravers, became the talent base for the great development of the art of illustration in the Ming Dynasty. Technological excellence, rapid progress, is the fifth feature of the Ming dynasty engraving illustration art. Jian'an, Jinling two schools of early illustration works, the technique is still a little rough, not much change. After the rise of Hui, this situation has been thoroughly improved, dyeing and chafing, all free to use, out of the spirit. At the same time, the carvers also pay attention to theoretical summaries, such as Lu Yujiu transcribed Huizhou carvers teaching dictum: "woodblock carving and painting is not rare, deep kung fu to the heart to be fine. If you want to have two knives and a stable line, you have to watch and carve more and more to produce skillful art. More to see more carving but also think, knife carving pieces of all kinds of skill. There are only eighteen kinds of martial arts, and it is difficult to learn the old way of carving. The knife has its own reason to hold the knife, brush printing skills have high and low. □□□□ big happy event, first carve people carve landscape." Simple and concise, itself is a textbook about carving. Carry forward the experience, push the new, is the sixth characteristic of the Ming dynasty engraving illustration art. The most noteworthy here is the combination of overlay printing technology and the art of printmaking, the emergence of color printmaking overprinting. Initially, in order to obtain color plates, taken in a plate, according to the content of the picture, respectively, coated with different colors, overlay paper printing method, called the single plate color method. This method, in the Yuan Dynasty. On the basis of this method, or in its revelation, the Ming Dynasty appeared in color drawings according to the different colors were sketched down, each color engraved into a small version, sub-panel color, one by one, color by color overprinting or iterative printing method, that is, overprinting. Because of its plate shape like L nail, also known as "L version". Later, the invention of convex and concave two embedded, so that the paper surface arching method, so that the picture has a three-dimensional sense, known as the "arch flower". Overprinted illustrations, colorful, light and shade appropriate, between the yin and yang to the back, several can be messed up. Ming Dynasty many of the illustrations, such as Hu Zhengyan engraved "Ten Bamboo Zhai painting spectrum", Wu Faxiang engraved "Luo Xuan change ancient paper spectrum", are among the finest. Of course, the Ming dynasty prints, especially the late Ming engraving illustration works, there are unsatisfactory. Such as over-emphasis on the red tape, rich and beautiful work, sometimes look, not as early as the prints to the pain, interest in the sky. Formulaic, programmatic expression, but also restricts the development of its world. However, the Ming illustrations represent the highest achievement of the ancient Chinese illustration art in terms of quantity and quality, and they are in the leading position in the world. Even compared with the Western copperplate illustration which is famous for its fineness, it is also better than the others in general. Fourth, the Qing Dynasty book illustrations from the decline of the Qing Dynasty after the entry of the Qing Dynasty, took an extremely authoritarian cultural policy, book burning, the network of harsh dense, repeatedly emerging word prison. Readers in order to avoid disaster, more indulgence in broken compilations, diligent in the study of evidence. "The city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond", the Ming Dynasty, the flourishing art of engraving illustration, but also the gradual decline down. Qing dynasty engraving illustration art decline is a process, not overnight will be in ruins. Early Qing Dynasty, Cheng Ming Yu Xu, there are still some fine works, such as Jingde Bao Chengxun engraved "Yangzhou Dream", "Qin Lou Yue" and other opera script illustrations, exquisite and elegant, is considered to be the Hui version of the temple; four snow hall publication "Sui and Tang Dynasty", "Feng Shen Yuyi", the ancient Wu San Duo Zhai publication "ancient and modern biographies of the women of Yuyi", as well as "Kasa Weng ten kinds of song", etc., are no less than the flourishing period of the Hui version of the masterpieces. Some famous carver, such as Huang Shunji, Liu Rong, Tang Shang, Tang Yi, Cai Si Juan, Tan Yi Kwai, etc., also live up to the reputation of the famous workers, so that the plate engraving illustrations in the Qing dynasty, before the Jia, there is still a brief boom. Qing Dynasty, the first decline in the category of illustration, precisely the most popular, the most prosperous Ming Dynasty novels, opera works illustrations. Such works bore the brunt of all the bans. In the 53rd year of the Kangxi reign (1714 AD), the Kangxi Emperor issued an edict: "To rule the world, we must first correct people's hearts and thick customs. To correct the hearts of people, thick customs, the need to Chongjing. All novels and obscene words, should be strictly prohibited from destruction." In this case, novels, opera books illustrations naturally can not escape bad luck. After the Qianjia such works are rarely seen after the beautifully sizable, because of this. In fact, the Qing rulers hate the Qing dynasty is unfavorable to the literature books, rather than the art of illustration itself. On the contrary, illustration with its directness, image, can be used as the "holy dynasty" as a tool to sing praises. Therefore, in the Qing government organization engraved and printed books, more beautiful illustrations. The Qing government engraved books, more by the Wuying Hall transfer, the illustrations of such books are known as the Palace prints. Among them, such as "the imperial plowing and weaving map poetry", "Yuanmingyuan Poetry", "summer resort 36 scenes of poetry", "ink set", etc., are representative works of the temple prints. Temple prints more fine brush chapping, exquisite work, chapter and verse, printing quality are superior. The inner court engraved so much emphasis on illustration, for the previous dynasty. But the same because the court, one-sided pursuit of rigor and stability, these works are not as dynamic as the folk works, interest in the sky. In the rulers of the opera, novels and other works of high-pressure policy, the Qing dynasty folk engraving illustration of the two categories - figure painting and landscape painting, but has made great progress. Character illustrations in the "Ling Yan Ge Gong Chen Tu", "no double spectrum", "evening laughs Hall biography", as well as the "Water Margin", "Three Kingdoms Portrait", etc., are the best of the best in this regard. At the end of Ming Dynasty, the politics were dark, the civil officials were confused, and the military generals were cowardly, which eventually led to the demise of the country. Han intellectuals hope that there are ancient sage and generals like characters out to turn the tide, reorganize the mountains and rivers, the development of figure painting in the early Qing Dynasty, and how much this mentality is related. Qing dynasty landscape illustrations (mainly square books in the illustrations), has achieved unprecedented success. Great painters Xiao Yun from painting "Taiping landscape painting", heavy brushwork, the atmosphere is somber, the trust is also the Ming dynasty Li Li on the good mountains of the country's grief, with a strong nationalism and patriotism, in the ancient landscape illustrations, can be said to be unprecedented, no one after. Qing Dynasty emperors like to travel, painted the "South Patrol Ceremony", "West Patrol Ceremony" and a variety of illustrations, on the good, the next must be very much, so the Qing landscape books such as travel illustrations are very rich, remarkable achievements. Fangzhi in the illustrations, more or less related to this. But these illustrations, more by the temple version of the impact of the "Taiping landscape drawings" in the majesty of the gas, no way to see. The Ming dynasty developed a set of color printing illustrations, to the Qing dynasty also has a good structure. Qing dynasty during the Kangxi Shen Yinbo published "mustard garden painting", "a color, respectively, where dozens of versions, there are accumulated to more than a foot", is still being held up as a guideline for painting. The West Lake story" volume crown good scenery ten charts, for the Jinling Wang Nga color overprints, painting rich and exquisite, also for the overprints in the book of the great view. After the Qing jiaqing, plate engraving illustrations in the outstanding works are not much, except for a few characters biography books and travel books illustrations, can be described as few, and few breakthroughs in technology. It is also worth mentioning that in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, western lithography was introduced into China. Lithography on the printing of pictures convenient and labor-saving, low-cost, and soon replaced the plate engraving form, become the main method of printing book illustrations. The late qing dynasty lithographic books are very much, the figure is also exquisite, although this is no longer woodcut, but in the technique and composition, still to a certain extent inherited from the tradition of plate engraving illustration, is still a precious cultural heritage, but is not the scope of this paper, so do not mention. On the summary and appreciation of several types of illustration styles some people like to watch TV dramas, some people like to watch variety shows, and I not only that, but also like to see the painting. A good piece of work will let you see the world constructed by the painter, through this painting you have a different imagination about the world, it turns out that there are still a lot of beauty that you have not found, this is the beauty that illustration brings to us, and this is also the reason why I love painting very much. As a non-professional, I have summarized several types of illustrations by virtue of my recent experience in looking at paintings. It's like a study note. I hope we can learn something from these excellent illustrations. *Flat style: the elements in the painting all look flat, composed of simple shapes and lines, but the colors are very rich and coordinated. The cloth texture of the characters' clothes is very strong, kind of like the feeling of fabric sticker painting. Various elements are composed of simple geometric shapes, with some small lines supplemented by embellishments, and the expression of light makes the simple geometric shapes present a more realistic scene. The lines are outlined with granular pencil lines, making the picture full of children's interest. *Rock Color Style: Rock color painting broadly refers to all works of art that use mineral colors as their main colors. In my opinion, petroglyphs are very textured, and most traditional petroglyphs are made with gold or silver foil on paper to achieve a different effect. The following works should be computer drawing works, but also reached the rock color style, according to observation rock color style works have gold, black, red, blue and other main colors, very Dunhuang fresco feeling. * Semi-realistic style: the characters are more three-dimensional close to realistic, clothing texture, the following picture is Taiwan's talented illustrator De Zhen (deceased) works, I particularly like the De Zhen series of illustrations, the character's eyes are emotional, clothing gorgeous complex. The background has the texture of petroglyphs. Below is the work of Zhang Xiaobai, the first Chinese illustrator to win a gold medal in the International Cartoon Competition. Successful illustrators have distinctive personal characteristics, as in this work, Zhang Xiaobai's illustrations have a certain feeling of brushwork, but also has the kind of three-dimensional CG painting, her use of color tends to be big red, and the characters in the paintings usually show a proud, indifferent attitude. I remember when I was in college, I loved to read the cover of the magazine "Terrorist", which was drawn by Zhang Xiaobai, and it was all in this style. *Transparent style: The picture below is the work of my very favorite illustrator "Fat Snake", her blog is called "Fat Snake's Fairy Land", which is true to the title, her work is transparent and full of light, presenting a beautiful and mysterious fairy tale world, with many elements of little girls, Fairy, little animals, and little girls, which really fulfill the title of "Fairy Land". Her paintings have a delicate, plush texture, perhaps relying on small and hazy lines, most of the color scheme in light brown, light green, light-based, if you like her work to search for "Fat Snake's Fairy Land" will be able to see other works of the same kind. The following picture is similar to Fat Snake's style, and the overall picture presents a clear and warm feeling. This is a watercolor painting, unlike the previous one, which has a lot of tiny lines (my initial guess is that it was drawn with colored pencils). Watercolor paintings are characterized by the fluidity of the paint, which makes it easier to form rich colors. A good work of art will have rich and uniform colors. For example, this painting doesn't show traces of light, but gives you the impression that it is in a very bright room. This is a successful use of color. There are many more wonderful illustrations, too numerous to mention. I hope that by looking, drawing and thinking more, we can improve our drawing skills and create our own works soon.

Stroke style, is an extension on top of the flat style. Adding outlines and strokes to the flat elements, the outlines and strokes of stroke illustration are more three-dimensional and lovely compared to the flat style, and are often used in posters, guide pages, logos and so on. Texture style illustration, also called particle noise style, is another branch of the flat style, the page will be superimposed on the particle texture, showing a kind of frosted texture, a little bit like the feeling of sand painting, but more delicate than sand painting. The main form of expression is the use of a large number of color block performance, elements of a single clean, texture is often superimposed on the highlights and shadows of the elements, through the sense of granularity to increase the details of the picture, the picture transition is natural, three-dimensional and vivid, the style of painting relaxed and casual.
