In freehand painting, there are further distinctions such as large freehand painting, small freehand painting, and mixed meticulous and freehand painting. Chinese painting places great emphasis on the expression of the essence of objects, emphasizes formal beauty, and requires an artistic effect that combines both form and spirit, with a vibrant artistic atmosphere. In the creative process, from observing life, studying the subject, collecting materials to the expression of form, there are unique approaches. In shaping images, attention is generally focused on the structural points of the object itself, with modeling primarily based on lines, emphasizing brushwork, ink usage, and composition. The composition is not limited by time or space, nor constrained by linear perspective, offering great flexibility in handling space, with the use of blank spaces in the painting being particularly distinctive. Chinese painting emphasizes the perfect combination of poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seals.
