Features: This set of landscape and floral fan albums is Chen Peiqiu's recent work, showcasing her individual creative style and achievements, which are rooted in traditional techniques while drawing inspiration from Western methods. The painting style is rigorous and meticulous, yet it is not confined to the strict conventions of meticulous brushwork. Instead, it incorporates the loose and expressive brushstrokes of freehand painting. Although it is freehand, it is not carelessly executed in a single stroke. Rather, it is achieved through multiple layers of washes and dyes, such as ten waters and five rocks, or three alum and nine dyeing processes. All of these aspects offer valuable insights into how to promote the traditional Chinese painting tradition in the 21st century.
