“Guajia Chicken Nests Painting Axis”, modern times, painted by Cheng Zhang, paper version, color setting. 176 cm vertically and 46.5 cm horizontally

The delightfully growing pumpkin flowers are climbing on the melon rack, with layers of melon leaves, interspersed with 4 pumpkins, alternating green and green, making them very cute. Under the melon rack, one Lu Hua hen and five chicks are searching for food
Pumpkin leaves are dyed with ink on the leaf surface, and ink brushes are used to hook the tendons. Pumpkins are rendered in large pieces of ink, giving them a plump appearance. Although the entire melon rack is crisscrossed with branches and vines, its hierarchy is clear and its veins are distinct. The breast, abdomen, and tail of the Luhua hen are haloed with ink, while the back is first rubbed with a short brush, and then casually decorated with a dry brush. The contrast is strong and the texture is distinct. The five chickens chatted and wrote about their outlines, only stippling the details of their heads, making them look like each other
From the artist’s signature, he imitated the painting method of Cui Bai, a painter of the Northern Song Dynasty, combining freehand brushwork with meticulous brushwork, applying light and light colors, and matching ink and brushwork to complement each other.
