What is Qi Baishi good at painting?

Qi Baishi studied painting techniques all his life, and was good at painting flowers, birds, fish, insects and landscape figures, among which his "Shrimp" was praised by the world.

As for the shrimp he wrote, someone once commented that although a drop of water was not drawn, the posture of the shrimp seemed to be in the water.

It can be seen how wonderful Qi Baishi's technique of painting shrimp is. The shrimps painted by Qi Baishi in ink and wash are natural and harmonious in overall layout, vivid and lifelike in expression, swimming in the illusory "water" and enjoying themselves. Combined with the traditional blank technique of Chinese painting, the whole painting gives the viewer endless imagination space.

Qi Baishi's shrimp creation is based on long-term observation and research. When I was young, I began to draw shrimp straights, but later I observed more.

Painting the shrimp body also has a certain radian, and the number of knots in the shrimp body has also changed, achieving a simple and meticulous beauty. It can be said that Qi Baishi's shrimp painting has become synonymous with him.
