Chinese painting is different from western art. Most of time, it only use ink, but also water color sometimes, works are mainly made on rice paper, some on silk or on cotton paper, but all the work framed by silk and with bamboo, portrait paintings are usually presented in scrolls and do not abide by the rules called 'Golden law' --the western nations the law of proportionality. This law states that two unequal parts of a whole must be in relationship to each other to create a balanced image to the eye. Instead of the 'focus perspective' used in western paintings, Chinese paintings use 'spread point perspective' which offers a delicate sense of proportion. A goods example of this can be found in the famous 'Chinese Symphonic Picture Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival' which measures 24.8cm by 528.7cm. This large scroll painting portrays of Kaifeng during the Song dynasty. Minutely detailed, the characters and scenes are proportional from any angle. |
