Features: The content of the small painting should have a response. The responder includes internal response within the painting, response between the painting and the outside, response through changes in ink density, and response between materials, inscriptions, and seals. In short, they should communicate with each other and respond to one another. When the response is well-handled, the painting becomes lively and interesting, sparking the viewer's imagination. Painted plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums often carry symbolic meanings. This book introduces the painting techniques of chrysanthemum small paintings and also discusses several additional techniques, such as square, vertical, round fan, folding fan, and horizontal chrysanthemum small painting techniques.
