Remarks:
This is my 31st Chinese Bai Mao.
Baimiao is painted with line by Chinese ink. It is a kind of Chinese Gongbi painting.
At the first, it is a draft of a Gongbi Dancai or Gongbi Zhongcai, then it was developed to be a single art form by Chinese ancient artist Li Gonglin(1049-1106).
Also it can be colored, in case it has been colored, if we colored it with a light color, we call it Gongbi Dancai; if we colored it with heavy color, we call it Gongbi Zhongcai.
I have painted many Chinese Bai Miao in the past years. But, this is the first time I painted it on a piece of silk. :-)
It has a very special taste. The skill to paint the line is the most important part for a Mai Miao. :-)
Do you like this kind of art form? Do you like I color it to be a Chinese Gongbi Painting?
