One of the characteristics of Chinese traditional ink painting is its brushstroke. Ink painting uses brushes of different shapes and sizes to create various lines and textures that can be used to express the texture, breath, and form of objects. The strokes in ink painting can be steady and generous, as well as delicate and soft, showcasing the painter's personality and emotions.
Another characteristic is the use of colors. Although ink painting is mainly black, white, and gray, painters often use a small amount of color to enhance the effect of the picture in their works. These colors are usually light and elegant, such as light yellow, light blue, or light green. By cleverly using colors, ink painting can create rich emotions and atmosphere.
