                                  | Artist: Shirley Zhang |   
                                  | Size: 27.00cm x 27.00 cm ( 13.38inches x 13.38 inches) Chinese Ink, Colour,Tea on the Silk |   
                                  | Completed Time: Dec 20, 2014 |   
                                  | Remarks: This is my 43rd Chinese Mogu Painting and  my 946th painting since 2003.
 
 Also, it is my 350th assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts.
 
 After completing 5 big size paintings, I wanted to paint some small paintings, to rethink something about method to paint a Chinese Mogu painting on the silk.
 
 Then you can not imagine how long I worked on the small painting. :-)
 
 Once and once, I wanted to find the reason why the Chinese silk could not keep the colors there and what the difference of Chinese Gongbi and Chinese Xieyi paintings. :-)
 
 Then I realized:
 
 -- Both of the paintings use the lines.
 -- To drafted a Chinese Mogu painting is similar to a Chinese Gongbi painting.
 -- The colors are same, but Chinese Gongbi requiest the better materials.
 
 Then the key is the water:
 
 -- Chinese gongbi is wet, but the moisture is less; Chinese Mogu is wet, but its moisture much more.
 
 -- Chinese Gongbi's color basically is wiped by the water brush, therefore, it is not too wet; Chinese Mugo painting¨s color is dry by itself, to keep the traces on the painting...
 
 So, even though I did not satisfy this painting, I did feel I have gotten a lot among the experience of painting.
 
 How do you think of this painting, do you enjoy it?
