What's the difference between Chinese painting and western painting?

1, the line concerns are different.

Chinese painting is full of lines, while western painting is not obvious. Most lines are not original objects, but the realm used by painters to express two objects.

2. Perspective has different concerns:

Chinese painting does not pay attention to perspective, while western painting pays attention to perspective. Perspective is the representation of three-dimensional objects on a plane. Western painting strives to be as simple as the real thing, so it pays great attention to perspective.

3. The importance of background is different.

Chinese painting does not emphasize the background, while western painting emphasizes the background. Traditional Chinese painting does not emphasize the background, such as writing plum blossoms, hanging in the air and surrounded by white paper. Write characters, hanging in the air alone, as if riding a cloud. Everything in western paintings should have a background, such as a table. The background is people indoors or outdoors.
