Nature contains the elements，in colour and form，of all pictures，as the keyboard contains the notes of all music.

But the artist is born to pick，and choose，and group with science，these elements，that the result may be beautiful—as the musician gathers his notes，and forms his chords，until he brings forth from chaos glorious harmony.

To say to the painter，that nature is to be taken as she is，is to say to the player，that he may sit on the piano.

The dignity of the snow­capped mountain is lost in distinctness，but the joy of the tourist is to recognize the traveller on the top.The desire to see，for the sake of seeing，is，with the mass，alone the one to be gratified，hence the delight in detail.

Chinese realistic painting is often very colourful and with a lot of details，it involves first drawing a basic outline of the object with a thin brush in black and then meticulously(一丝不苟地) colouring in the details with specialized brushes.

A famous example of this style is the painting from the Tang Dynasty by the artist Zhang Xuan called “Court Ladies Preparing Newly Woven Silk”．It depicts an annual celebration where the court ladies would prepare silk，therefore opening a window to the past.See how all the court ladies are performing different tasks，and how each has been painted to express their individual characters.

Unlike realistic painting，ink­wash painting is based on one colour，black calligraphy ink.These paintings are stunning in that details are added by having different shades of black.

A great example of ink­wash technique done by Chen Rong is “Nine Dragons”，which plays on the Chinese mythology of the nine sons of the dragon king，the painting style itself focuses on the forces of nature based on Daoism.This painting is so famous that it can even be found in mosaics or painted on walls in China.

Chinese painting is amazing because like it's characters，it's a series of strokes that work together.Before start painting，you must have already formed the complete image in your head.
