heavy color (mineral painting (technique), <painting techniques by medium>, ... Processes and Techniques (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Heavy color, or zhongcai describes a style of painting popular in medieval-era China that relies on a dispersion of mineral colors that are opaque and solid. Artworks created with this technique are characterized by a fine, precise definition of volume and the layering of pigmented hues. Having risen to prominence in the Tang Dynasty, the practice of heavy color or zhongcai later waned. Unlike free-flowing ink paintings, the technique displays meticulous brushwork with lifelike effects, while the lightweight texture of the paint differs from the thicker, denser effects produced by oil painting.
