Scholar artists developed a free hand or xieyi style bloated ink painting as opposed to the classic outlined or gongbi style painting, making the two schools of Huaniao paintings very distinct. “One needs e the temperament to learn the art because it is physically taxing as one has to stand and finish a painting, preferably in one day otherwise the naturally made ink loses its colour.
