Chinese Painting in the traditional style is known today in Chinese as guó huà (国画 = Chinese Painting), meaning 'national' or 'native painting', as opposed to Western styles of art which became popular in China in the 20th century. Traditional painting involves essentially the same techniques as calligraphy and is done with a brush dipped in black or colored ink; oils are not used. As with calligraphy, the most popular materials on which Chinese painting are made of are paper and silk. The finished work can be mounted on scrolls, such as hanging scrolls. Traditional painting can also be done on album sheets, walls, lacquerware, folding screens, and other media.
The two main techniques in Chinese painting are:
- Chinese Painting: Meticulous - Gong-bi (工筆) often referred to as "court-style" painting
- Chinese Painting: Freehand - Shui-mo (水墨) loosely termed watercolour or brush painting. The Chinese character "mo" means ink and "shui" means water. This style is also referred to as "xie yi" (寫意) or freehand style.
