Gongbi Painting: Traditional Chinese Realistic Painting

Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. Gongbi, or “Meticulous Painting”，has been specially favored for its realistic technique and bold coloring.

Gongbi (Chinese: 工笔) is a careful realist technique in Chinese painting – the opposite of the interpretive and freely expressive xieyi (Chinese :写意) or sketching thoughts styles.
