If you’ve ever wondered why Chinese watercolor paintings have such a delicate, flowing quality compared to Western watercolor, the secret lies in the paper and technique.
Unlike Western watercolor artists who sketch their designs with pencil on thick paper, Chinese brush painters use thin rice paper and paint directly over a hidden template placed underneath—without preliminary drawing. This method allows for an organic, spontaneous flow of colors, blending seamlessly to create luminous, ethereal compositions.
