Chinese Brushwork

Chinese brushwork is a traditional art technique that utilizes brush strokes with ink and sometimes color on rice paper or silk. It emphasizes expressive, fluid lines that convey both form and spirit, capturing the essence rather than just realistic details. Artists vary brush pressure, speed, and ink intensity to create texture, rhythm, and depth, resulting in artworks that often balance precision with spontaneity. This method reflects a harmonious blend of technique and emotion, drawing from centuries of cultural philosophy, and is central to Chinese calligraphy and painting traditions.
