Chinese arts paper original work
Inscription reads writing of Pan Yan
Traditional Chinese painting of pink lotus flowers
The large free hand technique is one of two styles of free hand Chinese painting characterised by large brush strokes and small stroke number demonstrated in the above painting.
In this style of painting traditional pigments are carefully applied to a large fine fibre goat or rabbit hair brush then daubed onto the paper with a practised stroke that will in one delicate action produce the correct shading and shape of the form to be drawn.
Developing in parallel with the history of calligraphy Chinese free hand painting draws from a series of recognised strokes as it’s palette to produce recognisable and beautiful images.
This free hand painting by our designer has evident bright pink colours of the lotus flower lightening this small yet peaceful natural scene of verdant foliage.
Though Chinese free hand paintings tend towards use of blacker pigment inks this scene radiates a light summer’s day feeling from the long healthy stems of flowers that then open towards the light while large leaves suggest warmth and radiance.
Micro scenes of nature such as this often form the settings for the artists “bird and flower” paintings where the paintings offer us windows into dynamic scenes of natural beauty.
Note this scene has not been stamped and so cannot be considered completed as shown we would stamp with the designers seal if sold.
This painting is upon a long sheet of traditional arts paper of white colour and carries a slightly grey tint as evidenced in the photo which is common to this type of traditional paper.
The painting is unmounted though would be sold mounted upon a fabric canvas banner of good quality and suitable to be hung or transported safely.
