中国花鸟画 Chinese Flower Painting
Chinese flower and bird painting possesses a spiritual sensitivity, which manifests itself primarily through keen observation of nature and acquired understanding. It is inspired by the spirit of "flowers, birds, and landscapes that wish to speak" and integrates with poetry and calligraphy. The techniques of Chinese painting are very important; however, it is essential to pay attention to the contrasts and gradations of ink, space, points, lines, and surfaces. The skills of brush and ink combine with calligraphy and even the art of poetry. It can be said that a painter must possess a certain innate talent, use life studies to capture the essence, and cultivate good habits in the use of brush and ink.
