Bird Singing In The Bamboos
March 2024

From a Gongbi painting class. Someday, maybe, I'll be able to paint realistic scenes myself, but for now, I traced from an existing drawing, directly with the brush, and then coloured before sharpening some lines again.

A painting in Chinese Gongbi style on rice paper, representing a bird singing while standing on a bamboo stem. The bird is grey and pale green, with the bamboo leaves going from dark green at the base to lighter green to yellowish green at the tip. The bird occupies the top left of the painting, while the bamboos are more centre. Signature at the bottom left says Anna in Chinese.

A classical Chinese garden scene. The whole drawing is done with black marker pen with only splashes of colors (green and red). In the foreground, a plum tree with its red flowers. Beside the tree a Great Pacific heron is observing the koi fish in the pond. The pond is green like the color of jade with some red plum petals at the surface. On the other side of the pond, an old bearded man, seated under a pine tree, is feeding the koi. In the background, on a higher level, a Ting with its curved up roof. The whole drawing is very simple and does not follow realistic accuracy in terms of proportions and perspective. It's not done with traditional Chinese painting techniques, however it is attempting to follow the Chinese aesthetic principle of negative space. The drawing does not fill the entire canvas.

Winter Bird is painted in traditional Chinese "gongbi" style.

The technique calls for brushstrokes to “be as detailed as detailed can be”, using highly detailed brushstrokes that delimit details very precisely and without independent or expressive variation.

According to Fengshui build your house in an area, where the mountain is behind your home and the water in front of it. Famous example is the "Forbidden City" in Peking. The emperors created an artificial hill behind the city to follow this rule.

Crayfish (or lobsters/shrimp in a broader sense) have a notable place in traditional Chinese brush painting, particularly in the xieyi (写意) or „freehand“ style, where expressive brushwork and the spirit of the subject are emphasized over detailed realism.
