Hi! Welcome to my Chinese painting channel. I am Kate Wu.
There are two main types of traditional Chinese painting. One is âGoing Biâ which is similar to realism, the other is freestyle which is similar to impressionist. However, Chinese painting is never too abstract. The core of freestyle Chinese painting is about using fewer strokes to create the subject that still look and feel like what it is but not 100%.
I have been using traditional Chinese watercolor that are mostly natural color pigments, Chinese ink (Japanese brand), rice paper and two brush strokes for all of my paintings in this channel so far. To create more variety of painting, I have also added more color, tried out different type of papers and painting techniques.
Happy painting!
