Why is China's traditional Chinese painting not as realistic as western oil painting?

China's traditional Chinese painting can be divided into freehand brushwork and meticulous painting, but both freehand brushwork and meticulous painting focus on artistic conception. Western oil paintings, whether religious paintings in the Eastern Roman Empire, neoclassicism after the Renaissance, and later impressionist and modernist artistic styles, are mainly realistic. Monet's "Water Lily" and Van Gogh's "Wheat Field" both capture light and shadow and process colors to express a physical state. In my opinion, the main reason is that the difference between China culture and western scientific development leads to completely different painting styles.

Therefore, when painting Chinese painting, although the brushwork and color are more rigorous, it just has no physical effect. I think Chinese painting has not been innovative since its formation, at least not on the basis of realism. Freehand brushwork with ink and meticulous brushwork with three alum and nine alum only roughly draw the general shape of an object. In China's traditional Chinese painting, there are several images, which are classic freehand brushwork. That is orchids, white lotus and persimmons. They are all very simple brushstrokes. When drawing an orchid, one stroke is long, two strokes are short, and three strokes are broken. When painting lotus flowers, lotus leaves and dragonflies, and when painting persimmons, adding two magpies is "all the best". It's been like this since I started learning Chinese painting. I feel that my grandfather's generation is the same. It seems that this routine has never changed. This is also the inherent style of Chinese painting, just like the high-quality literati in Chinese painting characters, who always wear a bun. Ladies and beautiful women are almost the same, which makes people feel the same way.

Western oil paintings make full use of color rings and mineral raw materials, and have charcoal pens. Oil painting needs excellent sketching skills. Every time you finish sketching, a good washer feels like a different person. Impressionist painters are outstanding contributors in the history of western art, and this achievement also benefits from the advanced achievements of optical research. The highlight of oil painting and watercolor painting is the deep sea I have been struggling with. Like the end of an article. Anyway, I just finished it. It can be seen that the natural science of optics has a great influence on western art.
