What's the difference between meticulous painting and Chinese painting? Style, talent, calligraphy and art

Traditional Chinese painting includes meticulous painting and freehand brushwork, which are subordinate and difficult to distinguish. But we can talk about the difference between meticulous brushwork and freehand brushwork:

In terms of lines, meticulous painting pays attention to detail and pays attention to the description and depiction of details; Freehand brushwork requires lines to be vivid and vivid, and to describe the essential characteristics of the object with a concise pen. Rich brushwork is a vivid source of freehand brushwork.

In terms of ink color, meticulous painting is generally rendered layer by layer with very light ink (dyed once and then dried), which forms realistic light and shade changes through long-term superposition; Freehand brushwork is reflected in using thick ink to dilute ink, destroying each other and echoing each other, forming a rich and vivid ink color effect, which is generally formed at one time and cannot be described repeatedly.

Painting method: Generally, meticulous painting should draw a sketch manuscript first, then copy it with cooked rice paper, then mount the copied paper on the board, dry it and ink it online, and the completion time is usually more than a few months. Freehand brushwork is more flexible and can be completed quickly.
