Baimiao is painted with lines using Chinese ink. It is simple, summarized, clear and without color. Every line should be able to be seen clearly, and even a strand of hair must be expressed clearly.
There are at least 18 kinds of lines used in Chinese Baimiao.
When we paint a Baimiao, we must be responsible for every line and draw it similarly to write Chinese calligraphy. Every line must go through the process from the beginning, going on and stop until the end, just as we write every stroke in Chinese calligraphy.
Baimiao is one of the steps of Chinese Gongbi Painting. If we color it, it will become a Chinese Gongbi; otherwise it can stand as an independent art style.
Because lines are the skeleton of Chinese painting, every student who learns Chinese painting must learn Baimiao.
Now I would like to share some of my Baimiao assignments for the Chinese National Academy of Arts and China central Academy of Arts with you and I do hope they will give you a basic impression of Chinese Baimiao.
