溪山無盡之二 Mountain-River No. 2


Gung's painting skill was outstanding. His specialty comes from a 皴法 (ways to put shadow in through different techniques) he discovered himself: 積墨法, that is, he would paint the shadows by pitching in several layers of tones to achieve it. In his darkest area, he could leave some white spots to show the special effect of contrast.

I happily noticed that while doing the emulation. I told myself that is something I could not do. Indeed, I was not able to do however hard I tried.
