[Li Liufang Tanyuan Ink Drama Axis]

This close-range painting is of empty pavilions and Jiamu, and the river bank and Zhushi. The distant view is of overlapping peaks, lush trees, changeable strokes, dripping ink, and clear artistic conception. The layout of the close shot and the painting method of the trees are mainly imitated from Ni Zan, but the ink is much wetter than Ni Zan. The trunk of the tree is drawn with a freehand brush, and the leaves are written with freehand brushwork. The brushwork is implicit and introverted. The mountains and stones use the parallel or overlapping Pima chapped painting techniques, and the strokes are vigorous and fast, and are stained with light ink full of water, which is quite the charm of Wuzhen’s brush and ink
