Peacock is one of the most colorful birds in nature. It is a bird living in the south. In ancient times, few people could raise it except for the imperial palace in the north, and ordinary people could not see it. Therefore, the theme itself reveals the flavor of the palace
Compared with many works that show peacocks with meticulous and heavy colors, Lin Liang’s works are pure ink, rough and simple, and only delicately delineate the peacock’s head, neck and tail, giving full play to the rich changes of “ink is divided into five colors”, making the black and white ink also produce a colorful and dazzling effect. With bamboo and stone as the background, it adds more and more elegance and elegance.
